Do you or anyone by chance know if for the rears they utilize the KNS bracket or was there a different thing in Japan/Australia

I wonder what set up the tuned by STI Liberty in Australia is running, I thought I saw them with the black brembos. I will have to keep looking around. Any Aussie in here that can check out one of those and let me know?

Okay, so today I went through and test fitted a bunch of stuff to clear up questions I had. Great news is I will spread the information to everyone here.

 

What I have

 

08+ STI Black Brembo calipers Front and rear. So let's start with the Fronts

 

Front 08+ STI Brembo calipers cleaned, and greased where necessary

Brembo front brake pads part # P54039N made for 04+ STI

OEM Brembo bolts X4 part number 901120103

DBA 4000 series rotors made for the 04+ STI drilled and slotted and dual drilled for 5×114/5×100 fitment.

 

With these parts everything mounted right up no problems after doing more research I found that any 04 STI rotor would work I just found the DBA's at a great price. The brake pads were the same thing found a great price.

 

To the rears..... this is where I have some issues and questions if anyone can help answer them

 

08+ STI Brembo calipers cleaned and greased where necessary

Brembo brake pads for 04+ STI part number P56048N

04 STI Brembo slotted rotors

OEM Brembo rear caliper bolts X4 part number 901000326

 

I found that the rear caliper will mount directly after you remove the dust shield, but if you use the LGT rotor the brake pad goes beyond the friction surface towards the inside of the rotor, and with the 04 STI rotor the offset will not work and it puts the caliper just out of range to mount to the factory brake location. Good news was that the 04 STI rotor had no problems with my ebrake and that was still functional, I'm not sure if this was a specially made rotor with the 170 mm drum brake and not the normal 190 mm drum brake, but again got a great price on the rotors and maybe I got lucky with it also.

 

Removing the dust shield is fairly easy, just used a mallet and a flat head screw driver to pull the dust shield away from the hub a bit so I could see where the spot welds were, drilled them out, pulled a bit more and it came off. Did some grinding to remove any excess metal and then spray painted the area with some high temp engine enamel to prevent rust.

 

I know KNS and a few other companies make a bracket to adapt the 04-07 STI Brembo rear calipers to work with our cars and an 04 STI rotor, but I have not seen anything for the 08+ Brembos. The offset changed a bit from what I have read and the piston size went up by about 6mm. Feel free to correct me if I am wrong btw.

 

My questions are,

1) is there a specialized bracket anyone knows of for the 08+ Brembos

 

2) is there a differently tooled rotor on the market that might work for this application, for example maybe an 08+ rotor that is dual drilled (5×114/5×100)

 

Any help or insight would be much appreciated.

Yes 4th gen..... sigh damn it, just noticed this is in the 5th gen sub forum.......

Just for clarification purposes (for me) because this is what I have encountered thus far.

 

I have 08+ STI calipers front and rear

Fronts mount up with

The dual drilled DBA 4000 series slotted/drilled STI rotors (yes the stock LGT ones are too small)

And the OEM brembo bolts from Subaru part #901120103

 

The rear though.... seem to mount up in the factory spot with the stock LGT rear rotor size (but not enough friction area from the rotor) so not really an option. So I tried option B for me

04 STI rear rotor which puts the offset of the caliper to not correctly mount.

 

My question is, What can be done to utilize the 08+ STI caliper on the LGT setup, is there another rotor I should be trying for (from what I'm reading I may have to go for the 08+ STI rear rotor dual drilled) or am I more likely to find an adaptor bracket (which seems odd btw) sorry if I'm beating a dead horse with this question. Thanks for any insight in advance

Spotted another RBP today at the Big O on 5400 s and just east of bangeter

Oh you got Trents old wagon. Cool

I'm doing anot her timing belt on a Fozzy tomorrow at my place if you want some pointers and help

Ahhhhh okay, sorry looking to get rid of them as a whole

anyone have spare LGT exhaust tips lying around?

 

Just the tip? My favorite game. I have 2 full cat backs

Okay, new thread got it

245/35/18 on 8.5 wide wheels and a 48 mm offset, not sure if they are "meaty" but they stand exactly where I waneed them to. No poke, no sink in, flush, did have all 4 rolled just to be safe with the drop from the coils

 

It's a scooner

It's a MKIII, have had it for a long time and I've pulled the motor as of lately to do a 1jz swap but life took over and I am re modeling my basement due to a flood. It was just the car I wanted when I was young. Nothing special about it though, sorry to disappoint

I really don't post that much, but I read up on a lot of stuff

Subscribed, so i can read through it

going for a much wider entrance

 

IP&T banjo bolt fit perfectly in my 16g/td-05, like the way it looks run inside the engine bay. Thanks for making these.

Installed mine a few days ago, looks great and clears my jdm engine covers on that side no problems. i was surprised to find i DIDNT have a banjo bolt filter there this whole time lol. i dont remember pulling it but couldnt find one at all. thanks for the great attention to detail, i am able to wrap it up and around my intake piping so clearance is wonderful. should mount wonderfully with my 16g
