Actually, with all the swapping you were already doing, it would have only cost you the cost of the conversion kit (around $1000) since you were already buying all the other parts.

It's only a massive PITA when you've got a built car already with a BBK, coilovers, etc that it turns into a nightmare. The two biggest issues were getting StopTech and 22b brake rotors converted, plus getting the correct lowers for those Tein SuperRace coilovers.

'Course, if you don't have STi brakes already, the brakes might still be a big issue... I don't know if WRX or RS brakes will bolt up to the STi knuckles, or if you can even find 5x114.3 rotors for those calipers.
