06jax2.5se Posted April 22, 2008 Posted April 22, 2008 Seeing as apparently the GT's have different brakes than us NA guys and nobody makes any drilled/slotted rotors for NA's I called the parts manager at my local Suby dealership and he provided me with a list of brake parts that will fit on any NA from 2005-2008. FRONT BRAKE PADS 2005-2007 WRX REAR BRAKE PADS 2000-2008 Legacy NA's FRONT ROTORS 2003-2006 Forester NA's REAR ROTORS 2000-2007 Legacy/Outback NA's (even 3.0R)
aldouse Posted April 22, 2008 Posted April 22, 2008 check your warranty... your 3yr/36k mile warranty includes brake pad replacement. well on my 05 at least it did. not sure if the 06 changed that part of the warranty. -- yay for the sig! -- my garage!
06jax2.5se Posted April 22, 2008 Author Posted April 22, 2008 ^^^^^if i wanted stock rotors and crappy pads i would do that but i am building an autox car and want better brakes and rotors and brake lines!

Osei Posted April 23, 2008 Posted April 23, 2008 Seeing as apparently the GT's have different brakes than us NA guys and nobody makes any drilled/slotted rotors for NA's ..... There are at least 4 firms I know from memory that make rotors for the SE. You have done little to no searches. eg. Power slot, DBA, R1concepts, Raceshopper.com. All you need to do is look up the size rotor you have and go from there. Also if you go to Hawk's application list you'll see the compatibilities. SEARCH is your friend. O.
Xenonk Posted April 23, 2008 Posted April 23, 2008 ^^^^^if i wanted stock rotors and crappy pads i would do that but i am building an autox car and want better brakes and rotors and brake lines! you just need better pads and tires. You dont need better rotors since your stopping is only in a matter of a few seconds on a course. trust me Keefe
06jax2.5se Posted April 23, 2008 Author Posted April 23, 2008 you just need better pads and tires. You dont need better rotors since your stopping is only in a matter of a few seconds on a course. trust me so do you run stock rotors with better pads and tires??
LegacyMUN2k6 Posted April 23, 2008 Posted April 23, 2008 I switched to: LGT SS Lines Fr/Rr, ATE Blue brake fluid, Hawk HP pads Fr, Drilled/Slotted Rotors Fr, 4-Pot Red Wrx Capilers Generic Semis Rr
Aryx Posted April 29, 2008 Posted April 29, 2008 I'm in the process of ordering DBAs for my 2.5i. If your interested in getting them, here are the part numbers: Fronts: 4648 Rears: 4653
Uberlegacy Posted April 29, 2008 Posted April 29, 2008 PERFECT THREAD! Correct me if I am wrong, but would the WRX 4 and 2 pots provide any improvement in braking, or would I be better off buying HP+ pads with LGT calipers? I do have a set of performance tires on order.
Sponge Posted June 6, 2008 Posted June 6, 2008 According to Hawk website the model number for the HP+ for the NA Subaru is HP-432 http://catalog.hawkperformance.com/h_productdisplay.php?sku=1003504&hdwt=31101&loc=101&dealer=no&company_id=10028147 I am going to order mine right now My vB Gallery

Osei Posted June 14, 2008 Posted June 14, 2008 all fine and dandy but will any of it fit the BE/BH modle? there are a lot of options; Searching in the brakes forum will broaden your horizons. The std BE has 10.7 vented F and 11.3 R, the GT has 11.4 vented F and 11.3 rear. If you use the FMSI numbers, you'll see a lot of the compatibilities. HPS pads are a great upgrade. Have fun O.
03LegacyWgn Posted June 14, 2008 Posted June 14, 2008 ^^ ive looked and seen nothing directly related to my BH model, mainly 05+ LGT's but thanks, ive noticed you have answers for most my questions, maybee next time ill just pick your brain when the search doesnt yeald anything for me. 03 BH Mods: Group A Alt & Crank Pullys and end links, CIA, JDM L7 Grille, JDM HID lights, JDM rear tails Stromung CBE, KYB GR2's W/ H&R springs.
Osei Posted June 15, 2008 Posted June 15, 2008 ^^ ive noticed you have answers for most my questions, maybee next time ill just pick your brain when the search doesnt yield anything for me. anytime. either in this thread or pm is fine. BTW what size wheels are you using and is yours a GT wagon? I kept my 16's for winter tires, so that restricted me as to changes in rotor size. O.
03LegacyWgn Posted June 15, 2008 Posted June 15, 2008 mine are 16's and its an L SE wagon i donthave after market rims yet and will be using the 16s for winter so id need them to clear that 03 BH Mods: Group A Alt & Crank Pullys and end links, CIA, JDM L7 Grille, JDM HID lights, JDM rear tails Stromung CBE, KYB GR2's W/ H&R springs.
Sponge Posted June 16, 2008 Posted June 16, 2008 I had Hawk HPS pads and SS lines put on Friday...a very worthy upgrade gents. As a word to the wise you need the 6 line type of SS lines vs. the 4 line my rear lines won't be in until next week because of this unknown issue. My vB Gallery

Pawlwawl06 Posted December 15, 2008 Posted December 15, 2008 Anyone know if the rear rotors for the 2.5i are the same for the LGT? I was on 1stsubaruparts.com ordering OEM LGT front rotors, looked at the rear rotors and noticed they were not N/A or LGT specific. I'm upgrading to rear LGT calipers, do I need to replace the OEM 2.5i rotor? Please help!
N.sane Posted December 15, 2008 Posted December 15, 2008 Hey Paul, I'm pretty sure the LGT rotors are bigger than the 2.5i. According to DBA's rotor catalogue, the part #'s are completely different. On top of that, they dont even make anything for the 2.5i rears.
Kelvrick Posted December 15, 2008 Posted December 15, 2008 The wrx brakes are an upgrade for the 2.5's. The Legacy GT brakes are an even bigger upgrade. We have different rotors/calibers/brackets/pads than the lgt's. If you still have the stock calipers, you gotta get the 2.5 specific pads/rotors. In short: 2.5i < wrx < lgt My Outback
Pawlwawl06 Posted December 15, 2008 Posted December 15, 2008 Hey Paul, I'm pretty sure the LGT rotors are bigger than the 2.5i. According to DBA's rotor catalogue, the part #'s are completely different. On top of that, they dont even make anything for the 2.5i rears. Yeahhh thats what I'm hearing also. Decided to just stick with OEM LGT rotors for now, maybe upgrade to DBAs later. I needed to do this sooner than I had planned for, and there is really no need to spend twice as much for a rotor.
