looking good james!

i think its a sensible ride-height and coil-overs (especially good ones) would be wasted, especially if its already riding on decent bilstein shocks.

the cosmetic thing is where its at. grill, eyelids, lip, extensions blah blah blah.

for brakes, like you, i feel brembos are a bit of overkil, but some wrx 4 pots wouldn't be a bad idea, i had brakes smoking on several occassions without even trying very hard and i have to get the rotors skimmed every 3000kms as im tending to warp them. im waiting until they are totally gone before going the upgrade as this is the best way to justify it (that and ill get 08 sti brembo's for the 201 and swap the 4 pots over )

The WRX 4 pots are smaller and thinner than what comes on the GT as standard. If you need to upgrade the GT's brakes just go straight for the Brembo conversion, I did! As long as your rims are clear the conversion's not that costly.

^^You mean rotors right?
Correct me if I'm wrong but I always thought Lib GT rotors can be used with Brembos? So it'd definately be the smarter option.......I also want to see this car with Brembos

Brakes definitely feel strong even compared to the 4-pots on the WRX... although definitely not as pretty...

I would look at an upgrade caliper kit, but I really fail to see the point of spending thousands of dollars upgrading a more than adequate setup just for the sake of making it a little bit prettier?

Rims and Brakes are hardly comparable in terms of cosmetic improvement Matt...

And springs are a quarter of the price...

I would love to upgrade the calipers, but its just not high on the priority list!
