Re: Biggest brakes under legacy 15" phone dial wheels
No way 4 pots will fit, the 2 pots however will. The only 15" rims I currently know that will fit the bigger tuner ready brakes are certain gravel/rally rims. Such as my enkeis rcg4

I've heard that the 4-pots may fit under some rally 15" wheels, but can't confirm that.

Pretty much what I said... Certain gravel/rally rims and I was using my rally rims as an example

Re: Biggest brakes under legacy 15" phone dial wheels
I want some! Rally wheels, that is.
OP, the best bang for buck brakes you can rock (If you're willing to grab some cheapo 16" WRX wheels) is 03-05 WRX fronts, and 00-06 Legacy (solid disc) or 05-?? Legacy GT turbo (ventilated) rears. They fill out the wheels really nice!

Re: Biggest brakes under legacy 15" phone dial wheels
I have 02 wrx front and stock rears works good but only with 16" wheels
I also have 02 wrx fitment wilwood 4 pots to install again needing the 16" wheels
Tires do most of the work for braking get some better tires not brakes

Re: Biggest brakes under legacy 15" phone dial wheels
I have a set of wrx brakes under 15in 91 tleg wheels. It took some shaving of the caliper but it has been safe for the last 4 years. If you want to stay under 15s then I think your best bet is just some rs front calipers and some good pads and rotors unless you can afford rally wheels in which cause go for the 4 pots.

Mike, if i were to do this swap, what parts would i need or what parts would i want to consider? Do i need a new master cylinder or anything like that? or is it just the brakes being swapped? Steel lines might be a good idea, i guess. But i'm really just trying to make a check list of things to purchase.

Re: Biggest brakes under legacy 15" phone dial wheels
If you have ABS, then you have the 1-1/16" bore MC, which is as large as Subaru makes....so you're good there. Some SS braided lines wouldn't hurt if you're doing the work.originalcyn wrote:mike-tracy wrote:I want some! Rally wheels, that is.

Re: Biggest brakes under legacy 15" phone dial wheels
ok sweet, thanks josh. So I need:
1x Front 03-05 WRX Brake set
1x Front 03-05 WRX Rotor set
1x Rear 00-06 Legacy or 05 LGT Brake Set
1x Rear 00-06 Legacy or 05 LGT Rotor Set
1x SS Braided line set (Front and Back?)
And pads i guess. And that's the whole deal? I'm not missing anything?
1x Front 03-05 WRX Brake set
1x Front 03-05 WRX Rotor set
1x Rear 00-06 Legacy or 05 LGT Brake Set

1x SS Braided line set (Front and Back?)
And pads i guess. And that's the whole deal? I'm not missing anything?
Re: Biggest brakes under legacy 15" phone dial wheels
Yup, that should be it. Get front and rear ss braided lines. The 02-05 wrx should all have the same brakes.

Re: Biggest brakes under legacy 15" phone dial wheels
Just a FYI, I believe in '03 or '04 the shape of the pads were changed. I don't know any other parts of the brake system were changed or if they are interchangeable but you may want to keep that in mind.Legacy777 wrote:The 02-05 wrx should all have the same brakes.

Yes, you need brackets in that case.

You're right....I seem to recall reading something a while, and I did a little check and it appears that part #'s change in 2003.93Leg-c wrote:Just a FYI, I believe in '03 or '04 the shape of the pads were changed.

I have '02 calipers and Tire Rack had that as the mid-year change.
