Draco-REX Posted February 3, 2011 Share Posted February 3, 2011 Front Brembo Calipers, Slotted rotors all the way around, SS Brake Lines, Motul Fluid, Hawk HP+ Pads all the way around, and now the MBC/Booster from the STi. Wow, that's a lot. Though if this does work for you I'll give it a try. My brakes are stock, but I think the larger MC will help quite a bit.

integroid Posted February 14, 2011 Share Posted February 14, 2011 Sorry, car is running but was waiting on the dual Aeromotive pumps. They finally came in late last week so we should have it on the road this week. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
shtbxr22 Posted February 19, 2011 Share Posted February 19, 2011 Curious to see if this will be something i need to get as well. Brembos are in flight to me now. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
slvrlegacygt Posted February 25, 2011 Share Posted February 25, 2011 is everyone buying their brembo's new or used if used where are you finding them? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Baddog Posted February 25, 2011 Share Posted February 25, 2011 I know most of you guys are 4th gens. But I hate the squishy feel in my 96 L pedal. I have some 04 WRX calipers (Front & Rear) and am going to get the H6 rear rotor and bracket. With SS brake lines, Napa Blank rotors (premium) and Hawk HPS pads. I wanted to do a MBC and Brake Booster swap from an 04 WRX or should I go STI? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
integroid Posted February 25, 2011 Share Posted February 25, 2011 The Brake booster is the same between the WRX and STi. The MBC is bigger on the STi. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Baddog Posted February 25, 2011 Share Posted February 25, 2011 After some research last night I found that out as well. I think I would be okay with the WRX MBC over my L which to my understanding is quite small. I would probably skip on the STI MBC unless I got it for a good deal.

shtbxr22 Posted February 26, 2011 Share Posted February 26, 2011 So I finished my brembo swap, and I don't feel the squishiness that some talk about. Maybe some of you out there have not fully bled the system properly? I'll be staying with my stock booster and cylinder. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
integroid Posted February 26, 2011 Share Posted February 26, 2011 Trust me, I bled my system about 5-6X Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LJ08GT Posted February 26, 2011 Share Posted February 26, 2011 Stupid question maybe but what is MBC? If i am understanding right you will need the brake booster, master cylinder, and whatever MBC is off of an STi to make this work? I am 100% on stock brakes and i don't really like the mushy feel of pedal either Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
shtbxr22 Posted February 26, 2011 Share Posted February 26, 2011 Trust me, I bled my system about 5-6X silly question, but all inner and outer bleeders? If so, what kind of pads are you running? Stupid question maybe but what is MBC? If i am understanding right you will need the brake booster, master cylinder, and whatever MBC is off of an STi to make this work? I am 100% on stock brakes and i don't really like the mushy feel of pedal either I'm thinking the "MBC" you see is master brake cylinder. So all you should need is the booster and cylinder to make it work. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Correct, Hawk HP+ MBC = Master Braks Cylinder Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
shtbxr22 Posted February 27, 2011 Share Posted February 27, 2011 Aren't those the higher performance ones that need heating up for "optimal performance"? I used Hawk HPS on my last car, and they worked great. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I used Hawk HPS on my last car, and they worked great. I had the HPS pads and swaped them out for the HP+ pads. The problem most of us are talking about happens regardless of temp in the pads. Go drive a car like a Scion xb and then drive your LGT again. The pedal feel and amount of pressure in our cars suck. Our stock brakes are bigger than a standard WRX and on par with a STi but our MBC is smaller than the WRX. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BAC5.2 Posted February 28, 2011 Share Posted February 28, 2011 Sorry, car is running but was waiting on the dual Aeromotive pumps. They finally came in late last week so we should have it on the road this week. Are you going to run twin Stealths? I'm curious how much noise they make. I was going to do a single stealth in-tank and ID1000's if I decide to follow through on fuel mods.

Yes, running twin stealths after the idea of running one in-tank 1500HP Fuel Labs pump fell through. I know it is overkill and I could of gotten away with twin Walbros. From the people that tested the stealth pump has told me, they are quieter than the walbro pumps. I will let you know in a few days how they are.

BAC5.2 Posted February 28, 2011 Share Posted February 28, 2011 Awesome. I've been really interested in the stealth since it came out, but haven't heard much about them. Don't forget to run 3/4" fuel lines [URL="http://legacygt.com/forums/showthread.php/proper-flip-key-interesti-159894.html"]Flip Key Development Thread[/URL] "Genius may have its limitations, but stupidity is not thus handicapped." - E.
