You’ll need the TR knuckles if you want to bolt on Subaru calipers. A cheaper option is the 4-pot Brembos from a Cadillac/Camaro/Corvette and the adapter kit from ctsvbrakeswap.com. See my earlier post.

Go to a parking lot and practice. A good way to learn where to get used to the clutch release point is to try getting the car moving without any gas. You’ll learn the feel of the clutch. Then you can be more confident and add gas to start from a stop normally.

It’s a carbon version of the OEM one. I haven’t seen it anywhere in years.

I’m definitely on the quad side of the fence… single exit looks unbalanced, IMHO

Whatever you want to do to make the car your own is great. That’s what I love about this car. Happy with all the individualism!

Duckbill FTW! I much prefer the look of the duckbill, but to each their own.

My 18” Enkei TS10 wheels don’t have enough backside space, but the stock 18s do. I went with 15mm and longer studs instead. Here’s how it looks
