How to: Parts numbers - Brembo front conversion

[thomas1657615996]

Hi all

 

I've been looking into a Brembo conversion on my Outback, and tought I'd share this info with you. I'm sure most of you know what to look out for when doing this conversion, but lots of owner decided to grind down/peel back the front disc dust cover. In Belgium, we have to keep things stock, or at least, make them look stock. So I always try to use OEM parts.

You will need:

 

- Brembo ESD/USDM/JDM front calipers (as far as I know, they are all the same)

- front brake pads

- 5x100 326mm front discs

 

Like I said, lots of us just grind the stock brake shield down and I know it won't affect the setup, but there is another way. The front hub on the 03-08 legacy/outback/liberty is the same as the one used on the 07 onwards impreza, which means you can use the 07 onwards STI brake shield.

Parts numbers are:

 

26290FG000

26290FG010

 

Strangely, left and right are different, whereas they are the same for the stock disc setup.

 

Don't forget you'll need other than stock wheels to clear, or spacers.

 

Cheers
