Looking at the rockauto catalog, it would seem that Remy makes a 4-pot caliper for the EU market at about half the cost of the black/red subaru logo calipers. $123.79 per caliper. I found this under 2003 WRX.

I'll wait here while someone buys them to see if they fit

Yeah that would be great, let me know when you have them off. Is there really any difference between the WRX and OB knuckles?

drink more water

In my excitement I bought the rears instead of the fronts. Oh well, lol. Now I'll have them for later.

It'll be ok, I get lots of practice

Found some gently used 03 WRX fronts, gonna do those first and then worry about the rear since I have drums back there

Did you install them yet? Any update?

 

If I can't find some decent looking OEM parts I'll probably go with remanufactured, I haven't read of any other problems with any others so maybe it was just bad luck for cam

in the mailbox headed to my house i hope!

 

right?? lol

 

Funny you should say that. If you ever need to know, yes, the bumper from a '68 Caprice wagon will definitely fit in your legacy along with the rest of the mail.

i cant remember if i posted in here but I hit 200k a couple weeks ago

So I got frustrated with my knuckle and I'm installing the front swaybar from Kenny's OB. The only problem I have is that the brackets are different. Mine have one bolt and a tab, the new swaybar brackets have two bolts. I think I can fit the old bushings and brackets on the new bar, they'll just be a little tight, but I'm wondering what the 'proper' way to do it is.

Be patient with it... mine has been overheating only when ~2 hours into the mail route. Today when it happened I tried burping it and it kept the temperature down, but then I noticed that my heater only blew hot when accelerating. Eventually it overheated again, and so I burped it again. Same thing. Third time, I removed the plug too soon and coolant spit in my face

 

Fourth time, I took my time, opened everything, ran it until it started spitting up, let it cool, did it again, then filled VERY slowly until the bleeder holes and under the cap were full and had no obvious air bubbles coming out. Sealed everything up, and it got me through the rest of the route.

 

BUT, I'm still not confident that I did it right so tomorrow I have the day off and will do a "dry run" to see if I can get it to overheat again. I never want to see antifreeze again in my life

I don't remember if it was the haynes manual or the owner's manual, but somewhere I read that only one fan comes on all the time and that the second fan is an aux. that only comes on with the AC system. In my 96 the AC is broken and I've never had to use it, but I only ever have one fan.

 

However, I noticed that on the 94, both of the fans run when they kick on (AC off). Which is it?
