Sniperdan Posted January 21, 2008 Share Posted January 21, 2008 I've been searching around but can't find the answer. can i get the calipers and rotors off an STi and put them on my 07 spec b? wounld this be an upgrade? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fweasel Posted January 21, 2008 Share Posted January 21, 2008 Yes you can and yes they will. The front calipers will bolt right on. Only 04 STi front rotors will work for your 5x100 hubs. The rear calipers require adapter brackets as well as a hybrid rotor. You cannot use the STi rear rotors because of the parking brake differences. You can get both the brackets and rotors together from Mach V As far as the upgrade goes... your stopping distance won't be affected much, but you'll gain better pedal feel and more fade resistance due to the additional mass of the calipers. ignore him, he'll go away.

whitetiger Posted January 21, 2008 Share Posted January 21, 2008 yeah, but you wont notice the fade resistance or feel that much. he's better off just buying better pads and SS brakelines with better fluid. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sniperdan Posted January 21, 2008 Author Share Posted January 21, 2008 i thought it would be an upgrade because they are bigger and i thought they came slotted or something. but hey Brembo calipers are a good thing to have! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fweasel Posted January 21, 2008 Share Posted January 21, 2008 it won't hurt anything. As far as size, yes, they are bigger, but not by much. That's not where their advantage comes in to play when used on the Legacy. As Whitetiger mentioned, the benefits will not be realized on the street, at least not enough to justify the cost vs a basic pad and fluid upgrade. Many people, including myself, have done just fine at the track with OEM calipers, stock sized rotors, upgraded pads, and upgraded fluid. ignore him, he'll go away.

dan_m Posted January 22, 2008 Share Posted January 22, 2008 I agree that LGT brakes are quite sufficient so long as you have decent pads Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AKLGT Posted January 22, 2008 Share Posted January 22, 2008 I have brembo BBK on my LGT. it was necessary once I upgraded the turbo. however, with the stock VF40/43, upgraded pads and fluid will do the job nicely. remember, stock LGT brakes are the same as the Tribeca, they are also about 50% larger than the stock WRX.
