Ricearu Posted February 28, 2011 Author Share Posted February 28, 2011 You painted the brake rotor? it looks good but that cant be good for new brake pads.. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheLoyale Posted February 28, 2011 Share Posted February 28, 2011 I don't think he painted the Rotor, looks like it might be a reflection from the camera's flash. If you did paint the Rotor, you are gonna have some extreme shuttering while braking. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
987687 Posted February 28, 2011 Share Posted February 28, 2011 Do you notice any better stopping with the rear disc conversion? Looks nice too. I did on mine!!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BEECHBM69 Posted February 28, 2011 Share Posted February 28, 2011 You painted the brake rotor? There is some overspray. Most of what I read said it would burn right off in short order. If not, I'll tape next time......... Dan Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ricearu Posted February 28, 2011 Author Share Posted February 28, 2011 good deal on the rear discs. I love mine. saved me from rump roast-ending a tahoe that cut me off when HE had the yield and jumped into my lane. didn't even lock wheels up. it just went from 50-0 in an instant.

TheLoyale Posted March 1, 2011 Share Posted March 1, 2011 Might just have to join the masses and do a rear disc conversion on mine sometime soon. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

el_freddo Posted March 3, 2011 Share Posted March 3, 2011 Might just have to join the masses and do a rear disc conversion on mine sometime soon. TOTALLY worth it if you can find them! I don't think they're much of an issue in the US in terms of availability compared to over here... If you've gone the EJ22 route they're a must in the braking department at the very least. Best brake upgrade is the crossbred kit produced by a local fella over here. Yesterday I did the honda front spring conversion on my L's rear end. Here's the before and after: ^ currently got her "small boots" on for around town trips. Those springs pick the rear up quite a bit and I'm thinking of cutting a loop out to maybe drop it down a little bit. Either way the drive is much better and the rear end handles itself very well over speed bumps. The aim of this conversion was to keep the rear up and handling loads better than with the standard springs - particularly when offroad and the only way up a dune or something of the like is flat footed... Things are looking good so far, just have to get used to the new look and feel while driving. Cheers Bennie Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Subaru_dude Posted March 3, 2011 Share Posted March 3, 2011 Drove mine through some deep water (lapping at the end of the hood, headlights submerged) and had to drain the rear diff AND transmission grease. $80 of fluids later she's good to go. I'll post pics when I get the front and rear vents done and the snorkel. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TheLoyale Posted March 3, 2011 Share Posted March 3, 2011 Just noticed, but this is the first time I have seen a GL without the side moldings saying "Subaru" on them. Did the letter ware off, or did it never have them? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
subynut Posted March 3, 2011 Share Posted March 3, 2011 Alignment on the PandaWagon - no more squirrly feeling at highway speeds. Now, onto finishing the guage installs, more cleaning, stereo, plug holes, plug coolant leaks, and fix the "I don't wanna go slow, GO FASTER!" attitude this thing has.

T'subaru Posted March 4, 2011 Share Posted March 4, 2011 That's some expensive gear oil! It shouldn't cost that much... I recently drained and filled the tranny and diff fluid in an xt6, valvoline synthetic at about 65 bucks all up Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
