^ Freakin hot that's what they are.

Looks like Volks (CE28 anyone?), but not sure...

Ride quality with 18's is hardly different than stock. If anything, it rides better, depending on the tire and size you put on there.

You don't have to go "lower profile" as the tires are already low profile to start with. Your profile will be determined by the width of the tire you want...

245/40 17, rolls in back. you'll have minor rubbing up front on the fender liner at full lock. bfg kdw2 is what I was using.

Mmm, that is a yummy combo, both size and tire. Go with it.

Several people are running it on the Legacy platform with positive results. Also, thos calcualtions were made with what now appears to be possibly an incorrect stock rear piston size.

Positive pedal feel is probably more like it. But when I called Stoptech, the guy there specifically told me not to buy the WRX kit, b/c they are specifically designed for that car. Not saying you won't see any "positive gains" or anything, I just think you'll see much better benefits if you go with the one designed for our car (since the piston sizing differs from the wrx kit to the Legacy kit).

Just throwing it out there that the wrx kit is indeed the wrx kit, and just b/c it fits does NOT mean its specifically designed for the legacy...

I added the WRX Stoptech kit to the calculations. I do not recommend this kit as you will drastically shift bias to the rear...

 

Glad you're telling people ...cause it definitely is NOT made for the Leggy, that's why stoptech has made a specific Leggy kit.

Not the best shot, but it's all I got.

Hey I know those wheels, and the exhaust! (Same as I had...)

Great taste!

the new 08 WRX uses the same engine as our cars...

moved to the new Transmissions forum!

oh yay when did we get this forum??? I have been too behind

^ the gearing is a lot closer together and shorter...

He will have to shift to 5th, unless he redlines fourth iirc...

subscribed.

Good to see you are committed to completing it...lookin good so far.

Wow.

How is the car???

^do you mind sharing the cost with us?

Right around the ring of 2,800-3000 just for the wheels. You order them custom made, offset and everything straight from ROH. Give them a call if you have questions.

I have NO idea how much they cost or where to get them, but my intuition tells me that a three piece wheel is going to be FAR out of my price range.

 

:-)

If they weren't heavy to start with I was considering raising up the funds for them. Really no comparison. They are top notch and look the best that I've seen so far. But they really do weigh a buttload.

If you don't care, it is worth it to save up!!!!:spin:

I don't think I've seen anything about this earlier in the thread- but can 18x8's rims with a 40mm offset be used in conjunction with wheel spacers to solve the rubbing problem?

Consult Keefe's sticky, everything you need to know about wheel fitment is there.

Last two look good...

First ones, way too much bling, looks cheap ricer IMO...

how much horsepower does a stage one make? i want to go to stage 2 but i drive 40000 miles a year alot of city driving im literally in my car all day most of the time. will a stage 2 effect reliability- to what degree, will a stock clutch hold- will i need to make suspension upgrades to handle the power? considering the amount of driving i do do you think the stage 2 will be liveable?

Lots of info around here on that. Search stage 1, 2 etc.

Stage 2 is liveable. Just about right for power needs in normal driving circumstances...

^ Darn right baby! That was me! That wagon was lookin hot btw, nice tint job...

You didn't seem excited at all to see me...I was a little hurt . But thought I'd give one last try for a wave...

Cool beans, that's my first time being sited! You beat me to the board, I was heading to install my coilovers. Where were you headed?

So according to your calculations Praedet, the Rotora 4pot front and 2pot (69.9/30.1%) rear are just about close enough to where the biasing should be for our the Legacy (70/30 being your recommendation)?

What pad mu is that using???

Thanks for the info you've posted here...because of it, I've been having second thoughts about putting a BBK on the legacy that was specifically designed for another car ie- STI, WRX etc...

I talked to Stoptech today, and I was advised NOT to buy a kit made for the WRX, as the piston sizing was drastically smaller than what they recommend...and the STI sizing was 2mm bigger than the WRX kit, but also 2 mm smaller than what they made their LGT specific kit, therefore it wasn't recommended to do that either, because of the biasing situation that you have posted up here (too much front bias)...

If I PM you the piston sizing on the Stoptech kit, can you calculate out for me the bias they have on their kit for the Legacy?

Garnet red LGT about 4:00ish headed toward Arden Fair mall next to Century 14 theater...

Looked stock.
