discopotato03 Posted February 12, 2008 Share Posted February 12, 2008 Hi all , new idea that am told reliably works a treat . I'm told that you can retain your L's front E brake caliper but you need to change its mounting bracket (the bit that bolts to the hub) for 1st generation Liberty/Legacy . Was told that the pads are the same also . Just on this is there anything the same as or very close dimensionally to the XT6 rear disc ? These are unobtaenium in Australia so if there's an alternative that would be good . Cheers A . Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
john in KY Posted February 12, 2008 Share Posted February 12, 2008 Are you saying you need XT6 rear rotors? Or are you doing a 4-lug to 5-lug conversion and need all the other stuff? If just rotors, I can help you in that area. May want to join this forum: http://www.subaruxt.com Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PoorManzImpreza Posted February 12, 2008 Share Posted February 12, 2008 ok the 13 inch (as referd to by FHI parts books) ej brake setup seems to be caliper compatible with ea82 calipers (something about swapping one of the guid pins, If I recall).. the 14"+ is NOT.. also the pads are sorta conpatible, the legacy/early impreza pads will fit is ea82 carrier but in some cases be just a teeny bit lose and don't have the stopper pin that prevents the caliper piston from rotating (function of e-brake) they are also a slightly different shape and can't share shims..

discopotato03 Posted February 12, 2008 Author Share Posted February 12, 2008 Well John if you know of any in Australia I'm all ears . I have Crossbred hubs and just need the discs which in theory work with L series rear calipers and backplates . Cheers and thanks , Adrian .

discopotato03 Posted February 12, 2008 Author Share Posted February 12, 2008 Also on this topic what if any differences are there between L series front calipers and XT6 . I did pull some bits off an Australian spec 2wd turbo XT4 and the front calipers looked the same as L series . Cheers A . Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
