Not a big deal but I got the info by calling a distributor and asking what seals need to be ordered for a specific kit. the info is out there for the public so it doesnt really matter.

 

what matters is how the kit will work on the legacy.

I'm going to install the WRX 332mm kit next week and will post any impressions from normal street driving. Despite what Stoptech says about installing the WRX kit on the Legacy, the numbers suggest that it would only shift bias about 8% rearward. The 06 wrx with 4/2pot brakes has a 67/33 factory balance and that is how they came in the rest of the world for years.

 

I think using the 328mm wrx kit would be a pretty aggressive shift to the rear because the piston sizes are the same but the rotor size is smaller.

 

I'm hopefully this will actually help keep the car more planted under braking and reduce dive.

 

For anyone who wants to run the numbers, the LGT kit has 3*/4*mm pistons vs the WRX 3*/4*mm.

 

Have a great Holiday!

is the stoptech 332 kit mentioned here the legacy kit or wrx? if so, seems like it could be balanced out with the Racing brake rear kit.

I wasn't suggesting anything, merely asking. I'm going to measure the wrx piston size and compare it to a legacy kit tomorrow. maybe if the legacy kit has larger pistons, the wrx caliper can be machined to fit. Replacement pistons can be ordered from stoptech without any issue.

so you're running a full brembo setup with the original master cylinder?

so how bad would it be to shift the bias rearward a little bit by using a wrx stoptech kit?

rallispec actually has them for less, $178 for transmission, pitchstop, and a pair of engine mounts.

so these are standard impreza grp.n engine mounts?

the bars work fine, my friend installed the endlink wrong. everything is perfect with these bars.

to bring this thread back, i just had the same exact problem. the poly on my kartboy is already slightly damaged. this is BS man, now i have to make spacers so they don't get destroyed.

I have black cloth heated seats, any interested in a trade for 05 leather seats?
