Hi, i have a 92 Legacy, 2.0 and Fwd. My rear brakes are not discs. I dont know how are they called.
I want to make an upgrade to my brakes and if possible, put discs in all tires.
The question is, wich brakes will fit my car?

Re: Brake compatibily with a 92 Fwd Legacy
They are called drums. You don't have discs on the front, at least? What country are you from? US models were all disc brakes with the rear discs containing an inner drum for the parking brake. It can definitely be done, but I'm not sure what you'd need exactly. I would guess you could get a hold of disc brake hubs and brakes and swap them. You'll probably also have to change out the rubber brake line by the wheel so it will reach, but I'm not sure. You may need to get the spindles from the disc models also and the master cylinder might need to be changed, as well.

Re: Brake compatibily with a 92 Fwd Legacy
Sorry, i wasnt clear.
I have font discs and rear drums. I want to upgrade my disc and put bigger ones and if possible, change the drums to discs.
I want to know what brakes (for example Impreza GT brakes or so) are "plug and play" with my car. Or if there are any of that type, wich ones could a put by making few mods. I would like to put some Brembo disc, they dont have to be from an impreza or Legacy GT, but some drilled rotors with bigger calippers. If its possible put some OEM or JDM it would be great, if it cant be done, i would go the other way.
Im from Uruguay, its nearly imposible to find any spear parts of these cars here, and REALY imposible to find stuff like STI Brembos...
I`m all eyes now and willing to see and read what mods you made to your cars. I THINK that my front discs are the same as the Turbo.

Re: Brake compatibily with a 92 Fwd Legacy
You can pretty much swap most of the newer Subaru brakes onto your Legacy. For the drums you will need to get a rear spindle/hub from a disc brake car and swap that entire piece. A junkyard would be your best option or someone parting out a car.
