Subaru GC Impreza coilovers fit, thats what I'm on right now.
For the rear disc you need the calipers, brackets, ebrake cables, and 4 extra bearing bolts to mount the calipers.

I gotta do that rear disc swap for sure..I like this five lug sswap you got going on.

My 99 Saturn Build

Well got some more time in this Thanksgiving break from school-nothing exciting just some caliper cleaning and tear down.
Also bought the 1/8" plate for my new rear swaybar mounts. Should be able to get the brake parts all blasted and the steel cut to shape next weekend when I'm done with this semester.



Plus it snowed, so this had to happen



Also stared at my ugly bay taking some measurements for future plans. Let's just say I'm preparing for the addition of two more cylinders-from Germany.


Finally figured out my steering wheel situation and ordered the adapter ring and should have the factory insert welded into the Grant adapter next weekend.


I wonder where my strut tower is..

[xavierb]

You got your battery in the trunk?
And what is this 2 more cylinders from germany malarky?!?!

jokes for days lol

So do the saturn ion seats take some modification to fit? I was reading some stuff on sixthsphere but wasnt really sure what the final consensus on how to make them work was.

[bsweitzer99]

Yeah you need to cut and weld the base brackets to bolt in.

[xavierb]

You think theyre enough better to make it worth the extra work if I can find them at pick n pull? Or is it only really worth it if I was able to find the recaro redline seats?

[bsweitzer99]

Only worth the Recaros. I had some for a time but sold them before I had the abilities to make them work. Then I made seats that were harder to fit, fit and are lower quality seats.

guess ill stick with the coupe interior than. Im hoping I can convince my brother to go pull an interior for me and help me instal it while im disabled with this broken leg
