Just wondering if anyone has taken the time to put together a complete parts list for all those looking to do drum to disc swaps.
I have as of now:
Front and rear WRX rotors, calipers, and brackets. SS lines and carbotech pads.
I know I will need rear hubs, and e-brake lines. What I am looking for is all the "little" stuff that always gets missed. The little clips, brackets, and bolts and such.
If this has yet to be documented I can start one for a sticky if that would help. Though not having done my swap yet means I would need a lot of double checking from you guys, :)
Thanks

but you dont need new linesYou don't need new lines, but you do need lines from a disk brake car. The drum and disk hoses are different and not interchangeable.

yeah whatever you do dont cut any hardlines or you will have massive amounts of air in the system and then you will have to drain all the fluid and bleed them from scratch. i am finding this out the hard way after i cut a hardline.
