spec.B Dream Posted September 5, 2010 Share Posted September 5, 2010 So many threads on this. General consensus right now is that it is not possible on the 05-09 LGT without massive mods/$. Sorry, I don't feel like searching for the specific ones right now. If you can find an affordable way to do this, you'll be considered a hero on this forum.

Th3Franz Posted September 5, 2010 Share Posted September 5, 2010 The hubs are different.. so you would have to change a whole lot of stuff. Why not get the Wilwood 4 pot kit? It's just as good as STI Brembos and brakeswap.com can hook you up. I run it on my car. -Franz The end of a Legacy http://www.youtube.com/th3franz Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
darkside Posted September 5, 2010 Share Posted September 5, 2010 Get some sti brembos used on eBay, I got front/ rear wit used rotors and pads $1000 bucks, replaced front wit new apm racing rotors($300) new stoptech pads, ($80) and the avo adapter bracket ($280) and rear parking brake shoe adapter (250) in all about 2000 for front and rear brakes that stop, factory brakes should be recalled for poor performance.

You can use any of the STi Brembo calipers ('04-'11) on the front, they will bolt on, but you will need '04 STI rotors (5x100). Rear calipers will bolt on with some of the adapter kits for the LGT, which include caliper brackets, the correct e-brake shoes, and 5x100 rotors. You will still, however, be stuck with 5x100 (which isnt the worst bolt pattern in the world) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
