Can a Subaru Impreza be upgraded to a legacy?
If you have a really old Legacy or Impreza it’s also not a bad idea to upgrade to newer parts which gives you a better pad selection. For the 08+ Impreza, the rear suspension changed significantly, and so did the rear upright and brakes.
What happens when you put Brembos on a Subaru Impreza?
If you have a 93 impreza and put on some front brembos, you might think that there would be a big increase in braking force. You would be right, and it would only be on the front wheels. That results in the front doing all the work, the rear doing nothing, and can actually increase your stopping distance.
Can a STI Brembos be installed on a Subaru?
#3 comes into play when installing STi brembos or the Subaru 2-pots in the REAR. Any FRONT caliper/bracket will bolt up to the front of any other modern Subaru (except the SVX), but in the rear there are different backing plates.
What kind of bolt pattern does Subaru 05 STi have?
The 05+ STi has a 5×114.3 bolt pattern. So while you can bolt the calipers right up other cars, you’ll need to use rotors drilled in 5×100, such as those on the 04 sti. The Tribeca and SVX also have a 5×114.3 bolt pattern, while all the other Subarus since 1990 or so are 5×100 (well, except the Justy).
Can you put a Subaru brake on another Subaru?
Basically, most Subaru brakes will interchange onto other Subarus. That’s very convenient when you want to put bigger brakes on your non-STi Subaru without spending a lot of money. To be extra clear, almost any front caliper will bolt onto any other Subaru.
What kind of brake calipers do Subaru Impreza GC8 use?
What’s even more convenient is that DBA dual drills their STi rotors in 5×100 and 5×114 and WRXbrakes does it in house to less expensive centric blank rotors. This will only work with 08+ sti rear calipers and re-drilled 08+ STi rear rotors because the mounting on the calipers changed as did the rotor hat offset.
Is the sliding caliper interchangeable on a Subaru WRX?
For the sliding calipers, almost everything used to be interchangeable. For example, a really popular and worthwhile upgrade for an older WRX is to take the caliper brackets and rotors from an 00-04 Legacy which gets you a 290mm rotor vs 266. This is called the “H6” upgrade.
