br7sv9x8 Posted April 30, 2007 Share Posted April 30, 2007 hey maybe this question has been ask, but i want to know still from some more helpful LGT members. the question is i have a set of front and rear BBK from an STI and does it fit to the LGT or do i have to do something? i only have the front calipers no rotors just calipers and same with the rear. do i need to get the rotors from the STI 5X100 to make it fit or does it fit the LGT rotors? and is it hard to install it or easy? Also is there a walk through on how to install BBK on a LGT? thanks for answering my question, peter Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SnoDork Posted April 30, 2007 Share Posted April 30, 2007 Fronts: Calipers Bolt up fine (assuming you have the two bolts that came with the Brembo front calipers) You'll need to purchase a set of STI Front Rotors, i have powerslots and they work great! Rears: For the rear calipers to work, you'll need a special bracket ($$$) also, the Rotors need some attention, Stock or replacement STI Rear rotors wont work with the LGT, this is due to the difference in rear end (R160 vs R180) so you'll need rotors that are STI Size, yet the Parking brake needs to be sleeved to work with the R160 End...Brembo has both the bracket and rotors, but they cost $$$$ Also Goodspeed (UK) sells this bracket & sleeving kit to make STI Rear brembo's work with a WRX, which in turn is what we also need... hope that helps ~Sucka-Duck~ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SnoDork Posted April 30, 2007 Share Posted April 30, 2007 thanks alot guys. what if i dont have the 2 bolts where do you think i can get it? you can either buy them from the dealer, or its a common size bolt, i'll tell you the thread and pitch when i get home... you could just pick it them up at osh or something, or get some SS one's from McMasterCar. ~Sucka-Duck~ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Schedule permitting...i can lend a hand and a garage!...Also, if you collect all the pieces by this weekend, there the EDO install meet & bbq!! ~Sucka-Duck~ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SnoDork Posted April 30, 2007 Share Posted April 30, 2007 Also...You already have STI Brake pads??

mickeyd2005 Posted April 30, 2007 Share Posted April 30, 2007 Rears: Also Goodspeed (UK) sells this bracket & sleeving kit to make STI Rear brembo's work with a WRX, which in turn is what we also need... I contacted Godspeed (UK) about this rear kit. They actually make brake shoes that are extra thick so that the shoes make proper contact with the larger STi drum diameter. The sleeves are made by a company in the US that used to be called Godspeed. They changed their name. I emailed them as well but it was quite expensive. One of the forum members here in socal (snodork, you proably know him) has the sleeves. Recently, kingofparts started selling a kit with sleeved rear STi rotors. I don't know where they got their sleeves but their total kit price was fairly low. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rommel Posted April 30, 2007 Share Posted April 30, 2007 you can get the bolts from any Subaru dealer PM Arnold(4boxparts) he can get you the Powerslot rotors. I would also recoment that you upgrade to SS brake lines Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
br7sv9x8 Posted April 30, 2007 Author Share Posted April 30, 2007 o i can get the powerslot ones too but the SS line im still think kinda alot tho. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SnoDork Posted May 1, 2007 Share Posted May 1, 2007 The SS lines are a worthy investment. @ ~$140, its not too bad, plus, thats line for all four corners! For Pads. I got a set that i'll let go fairly cheap for yah... The caliper bolt: M12x1.50 fine thread, The total length of the bolt is easily determined, measure the thickness of the mouting surface on the calipers then on the front hub, add them together and BAM...YOur mounting bolts! Smooches! ~Sucka-Duck~ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mines Posted May 1, 2007 Share Posted May 1, 2007 this is what I know for the brembo rears (some things may be repetitive of whats already been said) you need two things: 1. Get rotors to fit with the Legacy parking brake -you can get enlarged parking brake pads from Godspeed and just use any rear rotor designed to fit the 04 sti. -Buy brembo rear rotor that has an inner sleeve inside to work with the rear parking brake (downside: the sleeve is really heavy) -or you can buy the new rotor that DBA is releasing with a smaller inner diameter. Which is a one-piece rotor (there is no inner sleeve) 2. You need to get a bracket to fit the rear calipers - I was going to purchase the godspeed ones, but he informed me that the kit made for the wrx, would not work for the legacy. -After searching for a longgg time for rear brackets, I have finally found a company in japan that makes this rear bracket and sells it separately. I plan to let japanparts know after the "golden week" in japan is over and they can put it up on their website. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rommel Posted May 1, 2007 Share Posted May 1, 2007 The rear caliper for the WRX will fit on the Legacy and Forester. The bracket that I used for my Legacy is the same bracket that I'm using on my Forester. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
