LandShark Posted March 10, 2005 Share Posted March 10, 2005 StopTech in L.A. offers ss brake lines for the Legacy now (so does Goodridge). www.stoptech.com StopTech could probably fit a BBK for front & back with aftermarket wheels on. The stock rims are just too close to the stock brake housings. Ask for Tim at StopTech. They can send a cool cardboard layout to check for clearances before any hardware is ordered.

Jaxx Posted March 10, 2005 Share Posted March 10, 2005 the cobb is a silver version of the stoptec it won't clear LGT wheels cobb and ion both resell goodrich lines for an extra $50 (read just more expensive) iam still waiting for a valid pad option that dosn't have 200% mark up in it Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
iON Performance Posted March 10, 2005 Share Posted March 10, 2005 Jaxx - FYI, our lines are made by Goodridge to OUR specifications. These are not available as Goodridge p/n's. There are several difference between our lines which are exclusive to us vs. what Goodridge offers to the general public. We'll be releasing our line of Fast Road pads which are a "similar" compound to the Mintex 1155 for the LGT's soon. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

iON Performance Posted March 10, 2005 Share Posted March 10, 2005 Patagonian GT - Our lines utilize a higher grade standard of fastners/connectors. As well, the SS mesh that's used for the construction of the line is a much finer mesh. The interior of the line is also of a different material that's temperature threshold capabilities are higher. The exterior of the lines are also teflon coated. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

iON Performance Posted March 18, 2005 Share Posted March 18, 2005 General info -> We're currently working on a 2-piece replacement rotor for the LGT as well Weight savings will be ~6lbs each on the fronts. The rotors themselves will feature 48 directional vane cooling similar to that offered by AP Racing on their motorsports rotors. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jonny Bradtmueller Posted March 18, 2005 Share Posted March 18, 2005 Your web site is worthless. You can't click on about 90% of the things on your site. How are people suposed to check out the products that you sell? How much are these stainless steel brake lines that you sell? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

XT6Wagon Posted March 19, 2005 Share Posted March 19, 2005 Got my stoptechs recently haven't put them on as I've been fixing an intake leak that developed at the last track day. Lol too much damn plastic in the intake system... and I'm not talking about the intake manifold. Look like they are going to work great. Shame they don't have the 355mm rotor setup yet as those fit under my rims... and the wagon is damn heavy. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
iON Performance Posted March 23, 2005 Share Posted March 23, 2005 For those who're interested. We're nearing the end of our R&D phase for our 2-piece replacement LGT sized rotors for the fronts. We need 5 committed people to put 'em in production Drop ~6lbs/corner in the fronts with our rotors while improving brake performance http://www.legacygt.com/forums/showthread.php?t=10170 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Xenonk Posted March 23, 2005 Share Posted March 23, 2005 Actually, I have only done pads and fluid, everything else is stock. There's actually a lot you can do out there, but the main question is: "what do you want to do with the car?" Endless makes a big brake kit as well with matching rotors to your needs. Same goes for Stoptech/(Cobb) and Wilwood, and Legacy STi Brembos. Also, do you want to keep the stock wheels? Or do you plan to up-size those as well? What's the weather like where you live? Do you need this car to be very streetable? Do you need all out endurance race stopping power? I think it's safer to ask yourself what your car will see in terms of action, and I can guide you in the right direction to prepare your car for your action. You can change my suggestions to your liking later as to what you want at the end as a product. Keefe Keefe Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Xenonk Posted March 23, 2005 Share Posted March 23, 2005 Currently, I am waiting for http://www.racingbrake.com to come up with a set of the HP rotors (OEM size since that's what I need for Solo2 autox racing). I have had them before for my WRX and I loved them.. I hope they will make a set for the GT soon. Keefe Keefe Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Th3Franz Posted April 27, 2005 Share Posted April 27, 2005 Keefe will those OEM size rotors be slotted? btw, I installed my Endless pads last Sunday. I still need to do lines and fluid and I think the pads are pretty much broken in now. -Franz The end of a Legacy http://www.youtube.com/th3franz Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
iyamdman Posted April 27, 2005 Share Posted April 27, 2005 Hey Th3Franz, Did the pad upgrade help? Did it effect braking and brake feel? Who did you buy from, and how much were they? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
