Dutch Outback

Guys,

 

I'm new to the forum, but not new to the automotive scene. However, I do need some advice. Well, need.. I could do with some advice please.

 

I'm in Europo, Holland to be precise, and drive an 2006 Outback 2.5i, 5 speed manual. It has done a 120.000 miles now. Since I've had the car I don't like the brakes. The pedal feels spongy and braking isn't that hard as i want it to be. As I drive the car both private as a familycar but also on a proffesional basis where it's used for emergency interventions, it get driven up to 120 mph. So I do need some propper brakes...

 

I have been thinking of upgrading the system with some 4-pot calipers from an Impreza wrx orso.

 

Can some one tell me what I need to look for? What year Imprezza calipers can I use, and would I need to do other modifications like using spacers? My car has the original 16 inch alloys.

 

Or maybe, there is a much better and easyer solution? I'd like to here your thought on this.

 

many thanks in advance and regards from Holland!

Thanks, that's great to hear. I'm gonna take care of it as soon time will let me. And I will report back to you in this topic.

Hi,

 

My car looks the same as yours. So I guess that's smooth and "audi-like":lol:

 

It has the 2.5i, 165 hp engine (no turbo..) and factory satnav. It's a 5-speed manual.

Hello you all,

 

As I'm new to the legacy scene, I've got a question... I've got a nice 2004 Ouback 2.5i. It's an october 2004 car, so will the interior-light mod work? As I have been reading, it's for the 2005-on cars only.

 

Is my Outback ( euro-spec, with sunroof) a 2005 model?

 

Thanks and greetings from Holland!
