Getting the B4 rear's ready

Post by **Legacy777** » Sat Nov 06, 2004 5:49 pm

Not sure if anyone cars, but I stripped the old paint of the calipers prepped everything for painting and painted this week. Took some pics

I did also find that the new legacy GT rear rotors are the same size as the B4/GT-B JDM rear rotor. So depending on how much the USDM legacy GT rear brakes are, it may be cheaper to do that swap then trying to find JDM stuff.

Those are very.... pink.

How much did you pay to source the B4 rears? I know a guy that has a car connection in China. I was gonna try to get his people to go junkyard hunting for me.

Ruby red is the official name......that's the closer color I could find to match the pin stripe on the car.

I paid $150 for them from a guy off of nasioc.

Gonna sound weird, but where did you find the paint?

The paint on my coilovers is flaking off (classic "problem", but it doesn't bother me) so I want to repaint the painted part to protect it a little. I, of course, want to paint them "cherry blossom red"... i.e. STi pink.

Is the paint supergloss, or not?

I got the paint at autozone. The color name is ruby read. It's high temp paint.

It's glossy....I don't know if it's super gloss. I've only painted brake calipers.

Who makes it? Duplicolor?

BAC5.2 · Post by **BAC5.2** » Sun Nov 28, 2004 7:56 am

Oh, is it brake caliper specific paint?

Post by **Legacy777** » Sun Nov 28, 2004 6:56 pm

I got the rotors back from the cryo place. Only issue I noticed is that the one rotor looks like it was dropped. and there's a small chunk that got chipped out. I'm hoping the rotor was not damaged to the point it causes issues/vibrations.

Here's some pictures

Install them!!!!

Oh, and can you bring back the "quick reply" box? I miss that

Post by **Legacy777** » Mon Dec 06, 2004 4:31 am

Dave's gotta put the quick reply box back in. I don't have access to the back end of the server admin stuff.

They're on, updated pics.

Had some issues with the brake line fitting where it's supposed to fit on to the caliper. I think the B4 has an L type fitting. The brake line pushed up, so to keep it from banging against the strut I put foam on the back side of the strut and zip tied it.

Other issue, which I knew was probably going to be one is the spare tire. It doesn't fit. So I'm not sure if a t-legacy spare will fit, or if I'll have to get a WRX one.

Does anyone that has WRX calipers on their turbo legacy mind seeing if the spare tire fits over them? Obviously the WRX fronts are going to be larger then the B4 rears, but you still need 16" wheels to clear the B4's.

I'm going to bed the brakes in tonight, so I'll see how the B4's have affected the braking.

I checked it last night. No sir, the stock spare will not fit.

Post by **Legacy777** » Mon Dec 13, 2004 3:42 am

Thanks Phil.

Looks like I'll need a spare from the wrx

No problem. I gotta get a WRX spare too.

I've seen them go for WICKED cheap around here. Just look for a wrecked one that someone is parting out.
