STi flexible strut bar installed today. Love some engine bay bling, but felt no actual driving difference.

The impact of the turret bar is perceived by having:
1. Cusco lower chassis bar (PN 684 477 A)
2. Good bushings (whiteline or another)
3. Sporty driving

Still, it's always a nice accessory. The STI strut bar that you installed is not so rigid, there are other more rigid ones from other brands that make the change more noticeable.

i dont think they made them any different for both models if im not mistaken 

are diferents:

 

Post-facelift model:

 

Pre-facelift:

 

apparently the ones you have are for the pre-facelift

jdm exhaust finishers it's for pre or post facelift bumper model?

I use the Whiteline sway bar kit for LGT with solid links from kartboy. Another important item is the Cusco front suspension top hat with camber adjustment. These elements are the biggest improvement in my experience on the track.

Additionally, I just rode the Michelin PS5 1 month ago, they were even cheaper than the PS4 and it is one of the best tires I have tried on the track.

After that you have a lot of parts you can change, but they're going to give you minor incremental changes, nothing impressive like sway bars and more front camber. In example: Brembo 2 and 4 pot kit, cusco chassis bars, whiteline tie rod, LGT STI rear multilink bars, front & rear LSD diffs, ST MT 6 with DCCD controller, whatever you can pay...

How do you do, fellow nerds? Found my way back to this thread and, as a result, found that there are now a pair of high quality models of both a post-facelift wagon and sedan, and a pre-facelift wagon for sale online.

I can contribute to the purchase of the models. Will more people join?

Ok So doing research and spending time talking to the shop, here is what I have. Since I am a parts dealer, I and going buy my front parts first. The back is somewhat weird. I did not know the Outback has a massive rear rotor (5x100) and setup that can work.

You said the Kartboy is ok, is there a better one?

Front:

DBA Slotted 4000 Series Rotors

Hawk Street 5.0 Front Brake Pad Brembo (I never track/Car gets driven on nice days)

KNS Stainless Steel Brake Lines for STI Brembo Swap - Full Set

Amsoil Fluid

Rear:

 DBA 98-06 WRX Upgrade to STi Calipers w/ Standard 170mm

KNS Stainless Steel Brake Lines

Hawk Street 5.0 Front Brake Pad Brembo

This will be all that is needed to put them on my 06 LGT

Dijiste que el Kartboy está bien, ¿hay uno mejor?

Frente:

Rotores serie 4000 ranurados DBA

Pastilla de freno delantera Hawk Street 5.0 Brembo (nunca hago seguimiento/el coche se conduce en días agradables)

Latiguillos de freno de acero inoxidable KNS para STI Brembo Swap - Juego completo

Fluido Amsoil

Trasero:

 Actualización de DBA 98-06 WRX a calibradores STi con 170 mm estándar

Líneas de freno de acero inoxidable KNS

Hawk Street 5.0 Pastilla Freno Delantero Brembo

Esto será todo lo que se necesita para ponerlos en mi 06 LGT

Kartboy work excellent. Actually any well-known brand that makes these adapters works fine, just avoid Chinese adapters. You have to make sure you use good quality bolts (I think kartboy includes them) and use a red loctite liquid lock for the bolts (I can't remember the code right now).

Remember not to apply excessive torque, Brembo calipers are known to require rework due to applying too much torque.

The DBA models you have in mind are very good, I used those same discs on my 316mm front setup with Wilwood calipers. Its resistance to temperature on trackdays was good, although on larger circuits with a lot of heat they showed a bit of cracks, if your use is not on circuits you should not worry.

If you want to save some money on rotors you can use the equivalent Brembo rotors, since you will not use your car on track the DBA 4000 may be overqualified for your use, although I have never used them but someone on the forum may have experience with them.

So I would need the 170mm rotors in that link plus the adapter for rears? for the fronts it's just STI rotors and pads since it bolts up right? what brake lines did you run?

You are right. In summary you need:

Rear:
- Caliper bracket adapter, Kartboy adapter it's ok.
- Disc rotors (5x100 and 170mm handbrake).
- Brake pads it's same for any rear 2pot brembo.

front:
- 326mm diameter 5x100 disc rotors (WRX STI 2004 is compatible). I have the Stoptech P/N 126.47019, it is 326mm in diameter and 5x100 bolts, you can also look for any front rotor compatible with a 2004 WRX STI.
- Brake pads it's same for any front 4pot brembo.

For pads i use Hawks HPS, good performance and low noise for my use (trackdays and daily car)

I have optional STI brake lines for LGT (STI P/N ST2655066000).

Picked these up for a steal yesterday, going to get the SS lines, pads, and bolts needed for my 06 LGT. I need help finding the mater thread on what is needed. I am taking them up to my shop to have them installed so I do not screw things up. I did look for threads about STI breaks install and found very old ones. just trying to make sure I get the correct Steel lines, and rotors. thanks 

 

For the rear rotors you must take care to buy the right one, only two manufacturers make rotors suitable for the LGT handbrake specs (170mm versus 190mm handbrake for Impreza STI).

Brembo and DBA both have rotors for 170mm handbrake.

the amazon link of the suitable DBA rotors:

Today I installed brembo front :), previously had wilwood superlite calipers installed. I can feel the improvement, however the braking sensation is not something from another world either (both with Hawks HPS brake pads).

I highly recommended the Wilwood calipers conversion, is an excellent cost/benefit alternative. But on trackdays the 316mm disc had a lot of heat and I was forced to install brembos

Also, install Cusco top hats for camber control for trackdays and their construction quality is very very good. My current tires were destroyed on their outer tread, in addition, I install friday a set of Michelin PS5 XL and I want their life to be longer than my current set.

How much camber do you use for trackdays?

PM's sent  

I interested, please confirm all elements  

I need a solid sway bar end-links. After 5 trackdays my whiteline front sway bar end links are death.

Any recomendations?

Today installed cusco chasis braces, i can't wait to sunday for testing the improvent in circuit.

In addition, change stock mid exhaust to HKS pipeline. JDM parts are awesome Quality in details, can see "Y" section of exhaust line its perfect.

i testing the chassis upgrade in circuit last saturday. I can feel the Improvement of the performance at fast curves.

My best time are 2:00.434. For reference, one BMW 335IS N54 with 400 HP turn arround that 1:50.

It is tuned to reduce certain resonant frequencies to eliminate drone 

effectively, it is tuned to decrease exhaust noise below 3000 rpm. Above 3000 progressively releases the sound.

It works by generating negative feedback that suppresses sound waves for the frequencies to which it was tuned.

 

Skip my mistake from shifting to cutting jajajaja

Hello, I am interested in the side mirrors. Are the mirrors heated?

Can you send pictures of its condition and price?

I am looking forward to buying. Would you sell just the conversion kit?

I could buy the calipers now if I find a good price

Picked up another 17Z 6-piston Brembo off a Touareg at PickNPull. Now I have have set for the Legacy. Not bad for $14 each.

 

Also ordered a Tactrix openport cable.

I strongly recommend that you buy the BtSsm app to log or just have a digital dash. You just need a USB dongle for your smartphone.

I use it on trackday to log and follow the coolant temperature, engine oil / 5eat

You can see my smartphone with BtSsm in trackday in this video:

Do you sell only the valve body?

 

I'm only interested in that part

Do these bolt right on? Or do you need to make modifications to the Y pipe?

No need any modification, mufflers are plug and play. There is valid only for STI legacy BL muffler. Otherwise, STI muffler with dual output from impreza STI you are need extend lenght of output tubes.

 

You can see difference in attached photos.
