Same Same Bro!

Will still need the adaptors for the rears I think, but fronts should be the same!?

For anyone looking at fitting the rears you need a special caliper bracket. There is a guy in the US (on legacygt.com) that makes nice aluminum ones for US$240 posted to Aus.

You can then fit the special DBA rotors (or brembo make some too). These rotors are special as they have a 170mm handbrake inner hub (normal brembo is 190mm). The other option is to get larger brake shoes for the rear handbrake. I priced these at about $315USD delivered and you get a $50 core refund. This is the better option in my opinion as you will then have a better choice of rear discs (any MY04STI), plus the discs will be allot cheaper.

If anyone is interested in a set of brackets and shoes then please let me know. Maybe we can get a bit of a group buy going and save on postage.

Cheers

Gordon

Thats right...

Will need dogbone adapters and DBA2657 adapter rotors for the rears

For the record... I bought these --> http://cgi.ebay.com.au/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&ssPageName=STRK:MEWAX:IT&item=160338603470

If anyone has an example dog bone, I can see how much it will cost to machine them up in my workshop.
Wouldnt be doing it for profit, just cost of labour and materials. Same for anything else you can think of, suspension braces etc.
