| i got hawkeye STI brembo's for my bugeye WRX but are they the same as bug STI brembo's?
if so can i just buy the fitting brackets and disks and pads for bug sti brembo's??
and an other Q for the smart ones
i got a 2.5 L engine off a hawk sti but i had it checked if the bores are ok and one was oval??
can i get it destroked to 2.2L or 2.35L to fix it?
and will my heads fit the engine?
they told me if i destroke it i would need my 2.0L crank??... | |

| nop got told the bore off cil 1 was oval and out of the limits it could be used so without putting liners in the bores it won't work but i took the engine out 2 years ago and the car was running good only took it out for a new engine with big power so... it must be happend after we took the engine out and took it apart  and i want a stronger engine for higher power in the future so now the block is f*cked going down to 2.2 might be the only way the engine will work? | |

| if the oval bore cant be re bored oversize 99.75 or 100 back to round then the only other option is to get it relined with sleeves,
To achieve a 2.35 using 2.5 casings you use 2 ltr crank 2mm longer than std rods with the 2.5 bore pistons
or
get the casings resleeved down to 2.2 then bored to 2.35
either way its not cheap to do been there got the tee shirt lol | |

| just went to see the block and at the top it's round but further down it gets oval said the block won't be usable probably without spending loads of ridiculous cash better off buying an other one any thoughts?? | |
