1990-1994 Turbo Legacy owners and the rear rotor mystery

[koalorka]

Hey folks, I own a Japanese import Impreza STi Version II which fortunately, or unfortunately, happens to use the same rear brake setup as the 90-94 Legacy Sport Sedan otherwise known as the Turbo.

It's a great system which handles the weight of the car very well, but I just realized how difficult it is to find suitable replacements.

I've tried NAPA and a few other common sources and they all managed to find me solid rotors from some similar variants. Do you guys have any recommendations for premium or slotted rear rotors that are proven to work?

Stoptech, Brembo, EBC, I'm open to any options.

Thanks for looking.

Welcome to the BBS.

You can always get them from Subaru directly from one of the online parts dealers, www.subarugenuineparts.com and www.1stsubaruparts.com are two good sources.

The part # for those rotors is 26310AA151

Also, I'd suggest calling Primitive Racing. I've gotten turbo legacy rear rotors from him before.

The Australian company dba has replacement slotted rear rotors for our cars. Nice stuff. I am pretty sure I got mine from a company here in the states. I can dig around it you need me to.

I found my invoice on the rotors. Part numbers are:

DBA4649SR
DBA4649SL

I got them from a local guy. Hope this helps.

I've secured a set of Powerslot rotors, now I am looking for a set of performance pads; I was looking at the EBC Red Stuff series and they come up with a part number: DP3821C.

Can anyone confirm that this is in fact correct for my setup (or any 90-94 Legacy Turbo)?

Thanks.

The pad is the same regardless of whether you have the turbo rear brakes or not. From what I can tell from a quick search/application guide, those appear to be the correct brake pads for the rear turbo Legacy brakes.

[koalorka]

The pad is the same? So it is only the length of the caliper bracket arm that changes because of the thicker vented rotor?

[Legacy777]

Correct, the pad is the same. The caliper, caliper bracket, and the vented rear rotor are the only pieces that are different when compared against the non-turbo legacy rear calipers. Just a side note to caveat that statement, the sedan rear caliper pistons were only 1.374" in diameter while the wagon rear caliper pistons and all the turbo Legacy rear caliper pistons were 1.5" in diameter.

You can ask for just slotted or solid rotors, whatever you preference is...pretty cool, If only it were as easy to find the rear calipers
