brackets?

I dont want to sound like an ass, but have you ever taken your brakes apart?
There is no bracket between the caliper and the hub assembly.
The caliper, however, being easily dismantled into two sections, should not be sold seperatly.
Only cheats and non-enthusiasts sell them seperatly.
If you look at the picture, the caliper's i have are complete
All you need to do is buy pads and hookup your existing brake lines.

Uh, yeah there are brackets, and the pic shows the calipers, with brackets.

The Hollander interchange shows 536's as assemblies.
The term "bracket" is really annoying, its a vauge generalization of part of a complete assembly. And like ive said in several emails that ive sent out today, only douche bags and fuck tards seperate them to sell.

In your opinion maybe. To pretty much everyone else, it's pretty clear which part's the caliper and which part is the bracket.

In some cases, Subaru uses the same caliper, with a different bracket to fit different size rotors.

But yes, if you're selling them to someone looking to upgrade, the caliper's basically useless without the bracket. However, someone who just has a borked caliper doesn't necessarily need the bracket.

Sorry Hoss, your wrong. I don't give a care what the "Hollander Interchange" says. SUBARU gives different part numbers for the caliper assembly and for the bracket.

26225AE000 for the "Support-front disk brake"

For the whole "kit" as Subaru calls it, you have these part numbers:

26292AE020 for the right side
and
26292AE030 for the left side.

If you are going to sell things on this board, you would be advised to conduct yourself a bit more professionally.

And to clarify, the 06 LGT front brakes are NOT the same as the 02-05 WRX front brakes. They aren't even close to being the same.

The 06 LGT has 12.3" rotors. The WRX and the NON GT/SpecB Legacy has the 11.5" rotors.

BAC5.2 - You have a valid point, part numnbers are important, for someone who is selling brand new brakes. But most people dont go to the dealership when they want to upgrade, most people buy used parts. But I dont recall saying the Calipers where 06 LGT.
I only know that there the same as the 03 LGT, which is the conversion i have on my car. With the exception of afew casting differences, but the overall dimensions are the same.

When you split something like this up, its comparable to buying a CAI and not getting a filter, or buying a dual motor washer tank and not getting motors.

The idea is to get a product that you can unpack, bolt on and go and not have to shop around to make it complete. (except brake pads, always buy them new)
I can understand the reasoning for selling them seperatly if you have a broken "bracket", in which case its probably either time to slow down, stop hitting curbs or upgrade. (cant imagine how scary that faliure would be on I-5)

I do apologize for my miscommunication, i am new to this forum (was on NASIOC) and im sorry i caused a problem.
Hope everyone who goes to the Point Defiance meets gets good weather.

Sale pending

You said 02WRX/06Legacy (same as LGT). It implies 06 LGT.

Just be a little more clear. This isn't Nasioc.

HellBinder · Post by **HellBinder** » Mon Mar 05, 2007 3:07 am

again, i apologize for the confusion, i should have stated that they where the same as 03 LGT.

Only cheats and non-enthusiasts? Really? I have sold a number of sets of these as just the rotors and the brackets. Why have I done that? Because on the 2.5RS the calipers are IDENTICAL to the WRX calipers and the only part that is an UPGRADE is the size of the rotors, which requires the bigger brackets. My customers appreciate the fact that I don't cram a set of unneeded calipers down their throat just to jack the price of the sale and put more money in my pocket. With the brackets and rotors, you can install them without even having to bleed your brakes. WAY easier than hooking up the existing lines!!! Though I will add that if you want to use them on a first gen legacy like most people here drive, you will want the calipers as well since the brackets don't mate to the 90-94 Legacy calipers...

You may want to show a little humility around here and not act like a know it all. Most members here will just refuse to do business with you and ignore you if you act like a dick...
