I just bought these off of e-bay. I know relatively nothing about this stuff, tell me what you guys think.

Had some extra cash selling some extra Brat stuff, including an extra Brat!
Bonus question: This was never answered with any finality... Are WRX calipers required for the front rotor upgrade? I need new calipers up front anyways, just wondering. I know I need the WRX caliper bracket, but would our turbo caliper fit on that bracket?
Soon I will be putting new rotors/pads/calipers up front, rotors/pads in rear, and ss brake lines all the way around with ATE Super Blue to fill her back up. Think I will feel a difference
?

Are the lines in the picture what he's sending? If so I hate to be the one to tell you, but they are not the correct application for your car. They look like lines that will fit the later legacies with the separate rear subframe & multi-link susp setup.
Our lines are pretty much the exact same for front and rear. So all four lines should look the same. The only difference in the Goodridge ones I got between front and rear is there is a slight angle on the fitting that goes to the caliper.
I'd email the guy, ask him for a pic.
As for your question about the WRX calipers. I'm assuming you're talking about doing a WRX front brake swap correct?
I'm not familar with the turbo legacy caliper, but if you or someone else can confirm or deny my question I can tell you whether you will need calipers too.
On the older style calipers (my 90 legacy) there was a guide pin bolted directly on the caliper bracket. The bottom guide used a bolt that bolted the caliper to the bracket.
Is the turbo legacy caliper the same way? If so you will probably need a WRX caliper. There's still a chance the turbo legacy caliper would work, but that would be something you'd have to just test out.

The auction was very specific on which car it said the lines fit... they never bother putting up the specific picture on most auctions. I'll see when they come in. Should be here in the next couple of days.

WRX brackets use a different pad and a different attachment style. Im fairly sure you need the WRX/RS calipers to match.

They came in a while ago and are just as you described. All four look just about the same.
