next mod..big brakes
Ive decided that its better to carry speed longer and to be able to stop faster than it is to make some more horsepower right now... So will any impreza big brake kit fit my legacy? (as long as I have the right wheels). And what about then taking my fronts and swapping to rears? Will it work if i build a braket for the caliper?
Oh by the way. I have a 95 legacy wagon with 4wheel disk..

Impreza Big brake kits will fit the Legacy, but you might not get big calipers under your wheels - I was going to fit 335*32 with Wilwood 4 pots but they wouldn't fit under my (original) 7*17 wheels because the spokes were too thick. I now have 315*28 grooved discs with alloy bells on the front with the original 2 piston sliding calipers spaced out and EBC green pads.
You can't fit the front discs to the rear as the discs contain the rear drum handbrake within the bell. I upgraded to 312*20 grooved discs on the rear, with alloy bells that have the drum machined into them (with steel inserts). Standard calipers spaced out again This setup is brilliant, great stopping power and no fade so far  Paul www.nebbs.com |

I used the STI front kit from SPD. Works fantastic but you can't run the stock Legacy wheels, I'm using 17x7 Speedlines(summer) and the 98 Impreza wheels(winter). Unless your racerX I don't see the need for the rears.

Sorry Jamie, The 4 pots don't fit the stock Legacy wheels. Need to buy the Impreza wheels and I would first check the fit of other aftermarket wheels BEFORE the new wheels are mounted.

Question:
I know EBC makes Green pads for our fronts. But what should we use for the rears? Who makes good pads for our rears? I know our fronts do the majority of the work, but I wouldn't want to throw out the balance between the brakes? BTW, if you have rotors cadnium plated, doesn't it ever wear off from where the pads contact the rotor? Or is the plating bonded throughout the rotor??????  ChrisC |

Does the RSK or the GT-B share the same brakes or a different 4 pot style?
