05MNLGT Posted December 12, 2021 Author Share Posted December 12, 2021 like new. flat black powder. the emboss for the hub is the only difference between the the s402/rbsti backing plates and the USDM 05 STI backing plates. the 05 STI don't have the emboss. the depth of the emboss is 7mm.

05MNLGT Posted December 12, 2021 Author Share Posted December 12, 2021 here are the brake shoes I'm going with, if I choose new. The used ones that came with the plates are in really good shape. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Posted December 12, 2021 Share Posted December 12, 2021 The "emboss" is to match the shape of LGT's hub shape, I suppose. GR STI hub was different. But brake shoes - I'd think that GR STI 190mm brake shoes should fit. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

In theory it's easy on a mill. I might have to try to find some 05 sti backing plates and give it a shot. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The end for the adapters, the stupid heavy/expensive rotors and/or adapter parking brake shoes. And ability to have splash shields. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jdmchico Posted December 13, 2021 Share Posted December 13, 2021 again, in the US we can't order parts that start with ST if they didn't come on a USDM nodel. Since the these backing plates were from an JPN STI model, our dealers parts can't order. Some high demand JPN STI parts (like springs) can be bought from online site like RHDjapan and others. For the most part, the united states automakers federation (whatever their name is) has screwed us. Also the other element to these backing plates is the brake shoes. They don't use the LGT brake shoes because the rotors are a different size. I've ordered some shoes from several USDM subaru models to see which ones work. The brembo package never came on any of the USDM BP/BL LGT. Someone may be interested in knowing what the part number is if they happen to come across one. Some of the more savvy Yahoo Auction sellers may put the part number other than stating S402 in the title. It’s also order-able from Amazon Japan which ships internationally if someone wants to try ordering a set. I was able to score an entire new S402 suspension because someone put the part numbers in a thread. Just returning the favor for those interested. Keep up the press your build is coming along great. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I source through friends in JPN. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I might have to try to find some 05 sti backing plates and give it a shot. just a note on this. the backing plate is actually 2 plates stamped together. backing plate and drum mounting plate. if the sti backing plate uses the same 2 plates, you would only have to cut out the hub shape from the drum mounting plate. you won't even need to measure depth. so many other little easter eggs to revel down the road with the LGT.

05MNLGT Posted December 18, 2021 Author Share Posted December 18, 2021 here is a little surprise for you LGT nuts. picked up some dual mufflers, but wait, embossed s402 logos?!?!?! Yep. That's right. Turns out the tbsti and some specs 2008+ got standard dual mufflers with STI marker on the tips. My friend in jpn who scored these for me did some research in the STI domain. During the post facelift rework, the STI team did a modified dual muffler for the tbsti and s402. But they wanted to make the s402 special. They designed the internals to flow easier creating a slightly more aggressive sound. They stamped the back panel, just below the exhaust tips with s402 so you can see the markings from under the car. The changes to the s402 mufflers added 1179000 yen (USD10,370) to the overall production cost of the s402. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I didn't even realise they were S402's, just thought they were the plain old Spec.B STI twin pipe ones. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
