AlmQ Posted January 14, 2013 Share Posted January 14, 2013 I'm proud to own a 2004 and 2008 Legacy! I love every thing about them, but also understand their limits. One limit I've been fighting against is the feel of the brakes. I'm about to install Power Slot roters and StopTech performance pads in the front (already installed in the rear). Everyone has told me to also try installing steel braided brake lines. Unfortunately, I've only found lines for the GT. So, this leads to two questions: Will the GT brake lines fit my N/A Legacy? If not, does anyone make steel lines for non GT? Any help/advice would be appreciated! Thanks -Mike- Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bomberlegacy Posted January 14, 2013 Share Posted January 14, 2013 You can also upgrade to the oem GT rotors and calipers. They are larger and perform better. '08 Legacy 2.5i - hybrid intake - delta 1000 - E85 - magnaflow exhaust Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AlmQ Posted January 14, 2013 Author Share Posted January 14, 2013 Good to know gt lines will fit. I never thought of using gt roters and callipers...is that something I should go oem, or could I do one if stoptech's big brake kits? Thanks for the info!

bomberlegacy Posted January 14, 2013 Share Posted January 14, 2013 either would work, it just depends on how much you want to spend. BIG price difference between the two. And for a 2.5i, it probably wouldn't be worth it to spend that much. imo '08 Legacy 2.5i - hybrid intake - delta 1000 - E85 - magnaflow exhaust Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
whitetiger Posted January 14, 2013 Share Posted January 14, 2013 stop techs are overkill if you are not doing some kind of motorsport. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

N.sane Posted January 17, 2013 Share Posted January 17, 2013 OEM LGT calipers and rotors are a good upgrade, one of the favourite mods I've done. Although you'll get more stopping power, it won't change much of the mushy feel. Used sets show up in the classifieds pretty often since lots of LGT owners upgrade to STI Brembo.
