1991 liberty gx rims and brakes question

[sikvibration]

iv got awd gx with stock rims brakes everything and want to know how hard is it to fit 18/7.5 or 18/8 in rims if any 1 has done it do i have to get my guards rolled and will be lowering it prob 1 maybe 2 inches with coil overs secondly what brake packages or companys make bigger brakes for my model liberty i search brembo and a couple others but its all rexxie stuff of 1994 libertys and up

[cruisn]

18 x 7.5" and 8" will fit with the correct offset no worries. Depending on how low, you "may" have to roll the rears.

Brembo's are a direct bolt on to Gen1's like all other Subaru's. Fronts direct fit, you will need dogbone adapters for the rear as other models.

Brembos are massive overkill for an N/A Gen1. Do you plan on doing a turbo conversion?

[sikvibration]

thanks man and my originals are shot so thought instead of replace il upgrade and its a competion spl car so i need the wheel to clear with all the extra weight and bigger brakes cause of the weight

[cruisn]

Even with the weight of the SPL setup, Brembo's are not needed.

The next best is a set of Gen4 GT brakes and about 1/3 the price.

I have a complete set.......

[sikvibration]

are they a direct bolt on replacement or will i need custom brackets

[hamish_023]

GT brakes would be fricken awesome on a gen1 lib

[sikvibration]

i agree hamish just need to know if they will bolt up directly or if i need new brackets or what mine at the moment are that spongy its rediculas that even after bleeding them

[cruisn]

They will bolt straight up front and rear.

I was running them on my '93 Gen2 GT.

sweet will i need new brake lines and what year model gt brakes and what about gc8 brakes i think thats what there called i seen a set for 300 in red

[hamish_023]

Liberty gt brakes are the best you can buy that arent made by brembo

m

yeah but what year model gt brakes will fit

[cruisn]

'03 - '09.

WRX stuff will bolt up also. Except the 2 pots will need adapters.

Brakes lines dont need to be changed.

Have you checked that the sponginess ion your brakes isnt a stuffed master cylinder?

[sikvibration]

how do i test the master cylinder and what rear brakes can i upgrade to

[cruisn]

Id take it to a brake place to get them to test the master cylinder.

Only 2 pot rear wrx brakes and 2 pot rear Brembo's need adapters. All else will be a direct bolt on proposition.
