Agreed

Might want to check the ABS sensors at each wheel, clean off the magnetic tips as they sometimes get cluttered with junk that could interfere with the signal it sends to the ECU.

I replied to your PM

I have a complete ABS unit out of my 97 OB for sale

It was just headlight housings and bulbs, no wiring or back covers.

Yeah but my headlights didnt have the connectors coming off them that this JDM to 9007 kit can plug into.

The backside covers and headlight wire harness was missing. So I have all those pieces coming from Japan.

Ive been reading up on your JDM headlight install on SLi. I will finally do mine correctly since I just got the pieces that were missing from my headlights when I bought them.

That was quite the threadjack lol, I say just slap in some nice BC coilovers and raise and lower as you please.

Sounds like a good plan, and I will keep looking around and figure out what I would like to do. There is much to be done yet. Working on that elaborated brake upgrade post yet?

Since you have JDM bumpers, are you looking to get rid of the the US LGT bumpers? I am looking for some for the OB.

Do you ever notice on new brake pads how they have the leading edge that is angled down. That leading edge is called a chamfer, and that allows the pad to reduce grabbing and squeeking. So basically you can use sand paper to make the leading edge chamfered again. If you google how to chamfer brake pads im sure you will find a tutorial somewhere about it. It is very easy. Also why you are at it, you can remove the backing plates on the brake pads and apply some brake quiet lube and put the plates back on. When chamfering the pads you can also use a flat surface to sand the face of the pads to to remove any glazing or uneven brake wear to get a solid flat pad against the rotor surface.

The WRX knuckles bold right up, the only difference is the rear of the knuckle where the axle slips in. The WRX axle has a different shape to it and will only slide into a WRX knuckle. The Legacy axle wont fit properly inside the WRX knuckle. I will post up some photos in another thread explaining the difference.

Let me know if you need rear knuckles for disk brake setup. I am installing wrx knuckles in the rear so my 97 OB knuckles will be up for sale soon.

Possible you can just chamfer the pads to get rid of the squeel, unless the pads are below 3mm.

No bathroom talk at the dinner table guys... lol

For sure, sounds like a good plan. Something I personally want to change is the H6 rear brake lines to the 97 Leggy ones so the route correctly. Cant seem to find them in steel form, but maybe I didnt search that much either lol.

I know, sorry to thread jack lol, I am going to start a build post and tell you all about it! This weekend ill sit down and start uploading all of the photos and walk through all the steps sofar.

There are a few photos in my googe plus photo album that I linked there. I am going super wide, and the plan was to cut up and weld some wrx fender sections over the front wheel arches to make it wider. I will use 04 wrx fenders because they are pretty big flares. But this is for the future, for now I will roll them until the metal starts cracking lol. I am turning the OB into a drift car. Already bought complete drivetrain from a 05 LGT, and I am building the N/A ej25 with high compression pistons, cams etc... RWD conversion spool from PPG, and many more mods. I should have the engine back from the machine shop in a cple weeks and I will start posting build photos.

Thats how the OB sits currently

How ironic Cameron lol. Hows thing been up there in WA? Weathers getting nice and warm here again in NorCal. Going out to Sonoma raceway tonight for the Wednesday night drifts. OH and BTW, the OB I just did the brake upgrade on is going under the knife yet again.

Hi mailman, yes i installed them, and sorry for not updating anyone. I will create a post of my own showing the process, but to sum it up. Sofar the Centric calipers have worked out great, and no issues. Its possible Cameron had just had a fluke with that one caliper. I definitely felt a big difference in the braking.

I have been looking on the forum for somebody who lowered their 97 OB. I was just curious about the body spacers. Is there an issue with lowering because of the spacers? Seems that the axles might hit.
