Baddog Posted January 29, 2011 Share Posted January 29, 2011 For what its worth. I do know that I can use WRX brake lines on my 96 L. Not sure if that will help you in figuring it out. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Frogg Posted January 29, 2011 Share Posted January 29, 2011 Yeah I am pretty sure the caliper bracket is there to support the bigger rotor and caliper. I will let someone else chime in. But I am 95% sure you will need to use the new caliper. i think u just need the 02-04 wrx rear caliper......not sure if the 98 ones would work...

The Grouch Posted January 29, 2011 Share Posted January 29, 2011 Don't the rear wrx brakes also work on our 2nd gens? What is this H6 upgrade mentioned above? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Frogg Posted January 29, 2011 Share Posted January 29, 2011 it allows you to run the larger H6 rear rotors on the wrx rear calipers... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
camroncamera Posted January 29, 2011 Share Posted January 29, 2011 ...and although they call it "H6" (as in an H6 Outback), it really is the same rear brakes for any 2000-2004 Legacy that was equipped with rear discs. It is explained in one of my quotes in post #175 above. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
camroncamera Posted January 29, 2011 Share Posted January 29, 2011 Anybody using (or know of) upgrade/performance pads and rotors for the "H6" conversion (when using fully converted complete H6 rear calipers), or are we limited to stock/OEM options?

The Grouch Posted January 30, 2011 Share Posted January 30, 2011 So I've been following this thread because I plan to do my brakes sometime in the future too... Ok the fronts are clear: 2002-2004 wrx rotors, pads, calipers, caliper brackets. Now the rears, the H6 upgrade for my car would need the rotors, pads, calipers, brackets off a 2000+ outback or legacy.... And did I pick up on the fact that, the ss lines for the 2002-2004 wrx will fit the fronts but I need different lines for the rears if I were to do the H6?

camroncamera Posted January 30, 2011 Share Posted January 30, 2011 i think u just need the 02-04 wrx rear caliper......not sure if the 98 ones would work... So does this mean it would be better to build a sort of "hybrid" rear H6 caliper setup on a second-gen LGT? In other words: [A] WRX rear calipers, plus H6 caliper brackets, plus [C] H6 rear rotors, plus [D] any of a variety of WRX rear pads to choose from, thus the advantage of choosing WRX calipers OR ...are all the calipers the same no matter WRX or H6, and only the brackets are different? If so, then finding a complete H6 caliper with bracket would seem to be easier than trying to find calipers from a WRX to go along with brackets from H6, if indeed the WRX calipers and H6 calipers are actually the same part. Sorry for all these questions, I'm just trying to wrap my brain around which car came with what part, and which Lego clicks together with what other Lego Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Frogg Posted January 30, 2011 Share Posted January 30, 2011 sorry i think the calipers are either the same, or fit the same but use different pads...not sure there Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WESTcoast Posted February 1, 2011 Share Posted February 1, 2011 (edited) can we add this, this what all you need for the WRX front and H6 rear brake upgrade I have done this to my LGT so i can help answer questions all you need is: WRX front brackets(20 bucks a side from autozone) WRX Calipers WRX sized Rotors WRX brake pads H6 rear brackets(autozone has these for 20 bucks a side) H6 sided rear Rotors H6 Calipers H6 brake pads brake cleaner (to clean off any excess brake fluid you might of spilled on the rotors,pads, etc) optional(but should be done) stainless steel lines(stock ones will work, but adding the support of and consistency of the ss lines is a important) flushing your brake fluid replacing it with your favorite brake fluid (super blue, Robul, Castro, etc) install guides http://legacygt.com/forums/showthread.php/2nd-gen-lgt-brake-upgrades-wrx-front-and-h6-rear-154702.html and www.knsbrakes.com is a great one stop shop to pick up all the parts you need but there are other places to buy Edited February 13, 2011 by WESTcoast Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
0Tyrael0 Posted February 6, 2011 Share Posted February 6, 2011 (edited) ive always likes the ebc pads enough to not know how hps is ha I have been the opposite. I have always heard great things about the ebc but have always used hps. A friend of mine just put ebc on one of his cars and said he likes it better than hps. Well nuf said I will give the ebc a try on my next pad swap. Also the equal length header link doesnt work anymore. The one that fits our cars is just the one for the 2.5rs right?

subikid90 Posted February 8, 2011 Share Posted February 8, 2011 I had mine replaced when I had my alignment after my 04 WRX strut/spring install. They just bought some from napa, had no problems with them. I believe there are not many choices for our cars to begin with. -Subikid90 1997 Legacy GT 5spd & EJ251 w/EJ25D heads ~10.5CR 1998 Legacy GT Limited waiting for EJ22T hybrid swap Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WESTcoast Posted February 8, 2011 Share Posted February 8, 2011 any body have experience with which camber bolts are best. Also should i just get all 4 done at the same time I bought eibach camber bolts for the rear as the guys couldnt get the car to align just the way i wanted to. I plan to put them in and the ones i got were for a good price! http://www.jscspeed.com/catalog/Subaru/02_07_WRX_STI/Suspension/Alignment_Tuning_Components_for_02_07_Subaru_WRX_STI/Camber_Adjustment_Components_for_02_07_Subaru_WRX_STI.html 18 bucks cant beat that! you really dont need them for all 4 necessarily but if your stock camber bolts cant get you to that certain alignment then getting a pair for front or rear i they are having a problem aligning Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bmwpride Posted February 24, 2011 Share Posted February 24, 2011 i have a set of 03 wrx calipers and caliper brakets. I was wondering if they would just swap over to a 97 legacy gt. And what else i would need, like calipers and rotors and such. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
