5-lug questions for the gurus

Featured Replies

So I know that the XT6 stuff will bolt right in however I do remember Tex saying GC8 Impreza stuff will work like brakes and struts. Now my question might seem kinda dumb but what exactly does the "GC8" stand for? Could I use the brakes, spindles, struts, etc. out of a '95 Impreza wagon? Then all I would need would be new tie rod ends and control arms, plus the rear rotors, hubs, and backing plates I think.

gc8 is the vin code that tells you that yo are dealing with a 4 door impreza wrx made before 2001. basicallt, the fourdoor wrx from japan that came out before the bug eye. the two door would be a gm8. in the states, we got the 2.5rs, which would be the gc6 or the gm6. or something like that

so then the parts mentioed above would work since this is a '95 Impreza wagon I believe.

No, GM8 is not coupe. GM6 is 2.5 RS Coupe USDM spec. GC6 is 2.5 RS sedan USDM spec.

 

GC8 is Sedan AND Coupe, non US spec WRX and STi with the EJ20x turob engine and 5spd manual.

 

refering to an RS as a GC8 is NOT correct.
