I talked to Todd today. We've come up with a few ideas, however a bunch more information is needed before he can even guess a price.

Option 1: adapting the WRX kit to work on the SVX. I need to know if the steering knuckle and hub are similar/the same between the two cars

Option 2: go from scratch, this can allow us some larger rotors an calipers, at a higher cost.

What I need to know:

How big do we want to go? Diameter, thickness, and swept area?
How much do we want to pay? we can put together kits from possibly as low as 1000$ (not much upgrade) to something like Dayles kit (2500$)

How similar is the SVX front brake setup compared to the WRXs? Are the steering spindles the same/similar?

Obviously using larger calipers/rotors will affect allowable wheels sizes. Todd says he can possibly make a stock wheel kit that uses a larger caliper and thicker rotor, but will fit under a 16 inch wheel. (if there is demand)

Get back to me with opinions on what you would personally want, pay for, like, etc.
