Gen 4 GT Spec B Brake Calipers

Postby KS487 » Wed Aug 19, 2020 5:34 pm

Hey guys,
Looks like one of my rear calipers has started seizing on my 08 Gt Spec B. Tried ringing around and it looks like no one has any replacement calipers, not even Subaru. Subaru are saying the calipers are discontinued and will take 4 weeks to ship from Japan (and will cost close to $800 for one corner).

The only rear calipers I can find online are from a wreckers on eBay, which are from a non-turbo Gen 4 liberty. Will they fit on the Spec B? Doing a caliper rebuild is not my preference due to time restrictions at the moment.

Thanks.

A competent brake repair shop can overhaul a caliper in less than a day.

Good idea, should have thought of that. I was thinking more if I was doing it myself, but taking it to a brake shop would make life a lot easier.

Thanks Mate!
