Darkebane Posted September 26, 2010 Share Posted September 26, 2010 Will the front and rear calipers from a 98 legacy wagon fit a 97 LGT sedan? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
johnegg Posted September 26, 2010 Share Posted September 26, 2010 the GT (and outback, probably LSi) has larger, double pot, brake calipers than the lego L / LS, this is for all 95 - 99. (maybe not brightons, i think they had rear drums) they also have larger wheels. the hub / knuckles are the same so the parts will swap over but you have to swap everything, caliper, pads, bracket and rotor. and you would have to do both sides, left and right. but do you want to reduce your braking power?? the rears 95 - 99 are all the same, L, LS, LSI, GT, and outback, probably some later imprezas as well.

Baddog Posted September 26, 2010 Share Posted September 26, 2010 Sorry to steal a thread. But how much bigger are the GT brakes then the L? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
johnegg Posted September 26, 2010 Share Posted September 26, 2010 i think the rotors go from 10.2 inches to something like 10.7, but i'm just guessing. i do know that 14" wheels will not clear the larger calipers, but 15s and 16s will. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
