mkoch Posted November 17, 2009 Share Posted November 17, 2009 My local parts store can't order front brake pads for my '84 4wd GL. Their computer just won't allow it. What is a good online source for 2nd Generation Subaru parts? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

zyewdall Posted November 17, 2009 Share Posted November 17, 2009 Yup, Rockauto has a pretty good selection. Also, the '84 should be the same as the '85-'89 EA81's ??? as well as the late '82 through '83 (early '82 had solid rotors instead of vented) not completely sure on that though, so it's best if you can find one listed for the '84. I know I got them from Checker Auto about 5 years ago when I owned an '84 (bought it as a "parts" car simply because it needed brakes)....

GeneralDisorder Posted November 17, 2009 Share Posted November 17, 2009 It was late '83 that the rotor's changed to vented. All '82's should be solid. GD Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
xoomer Posted November 17, 2009 Share Posted November 17, 2009 GD, I had a 1980 with vented rotors.... it confused me cause the cat said and the shelf said non vented... I think a few might have made it in prior to that cutoff. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mkoch Posted November 17, 2009 Author Share Posted November 17, 2009 I don't know of the interchangeability from year to year, as mentioned above, but the part numbers for the '84 non-turbo are Disks, front 7254 31090 Pad kit 7251 91074 I'll post a review of my experience with Rock Auto. Thanks for the advice! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think a few might have made it in prior to that cutoff. It got converted is what happened. '80 was three years before vented rotors came out. They had problems with them warping so when the car was still relatively new they were probably retro-fitted to it. The only thing that changes is the rotor, caliper, and bracket.
