    I have a 12' Impreza base but having a hard time finding speed bleeders for my stock calipers. Can anyone help me? Also having a hard time finding SS brake lines as well.

    If it were me, I'd skip the speed bleeders and go for a Motive power bleeder. Then you can use it on your future cars as well:

    I've had one for years and it works great. Top tip: put teflon tape on all of your bleeder screws to avoid tiny bubbles.

    SS brake lines: have you already upgrades your brake fluid, pads, and rotors? If so, are you tracking it and getting a softer brake feel? If the answer is no to both of these questions, skip the SS lines as well...waste of time and money.

    Agreed. Speed Bleeders didn't gain much in popularity, and as a result, don't have a wide selection.

    Looks like Centric makes front SS lines (95047006) for that, but not rear. But unless you're REALLY pushing and already-upgraded braking system, your 5 year old hoses do not need to be replaced.
