zombieblues Posted June 9, 2015 Share Posted June 9, 2015 So I've spent a little over an hour trying to find some old posts. There was one about doing a brake swap to rear discs on the ea81. Hoping it works for my 83 gl wagon. And there was another from the guy with the bumblebeast that was about different swaps for suspension and drive train. I pulled my rear tire off the wagon to look at the bearings. It was completely empty! No drum parts... The brake line wasn't even hooked up!!! So instead of putting drums back on it I wanna swap the rear hub for something like a 5 stud and I wouldn't mind swapping the rear shocks out for something better. Anyone have those links on hand or know of some good search terms for me to find em? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yes, here it is: ~► http://www.ultimatesubaru.org/forum/topic/106807-improved-shock-absorbers-and-spring-coils-on-loyales/ But it is regarding the Third Gen Leone / EA82 only, Not for the Second Gen / EA81. ...

zombieblues Posted June 9, 2015 Author Share Posted June 9, 2015 Thanks JesZek!! I could not remember your name but could never forget the bumblebeast!!! I wish our junkyards where the same as yours so I could match up compatible parts for the older ones! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Loyale 2.7 Turbo Posted June 9, 2015 Share Posted June 9, 2015 Well, our Junk Yards have almost everything disassembled and classified, here you can see several Photos: ~► http://www.ultimatesubaru.org/forum/topic/87725-an-open-request-to-loyale-27-turbo/page-5?do=findComment&comment=1044253 But, it is very hard to find a Subaru on our Junk Yards...

Loyale 2.7 Turbo Posted June 9, 2015 Share Posted June 9, 2015 Thanks JesZek!! ... You're welcome. Don't forget to retrofit the EA82's Proportioning valve, in case you do a Rear Disc Brakes' Swap on your EA81: ~► http://www.ultimatesubaru.org/forum/topic/56957-rear-disc-brake-swap/page-2?do=findComment&comment=1289350 Kind Regards.

I'm trying to work in the lug conversion with the brake swap! I would not mind somehow matching a ford 9 inch rear end with the axles coming out to a ford hub/brake on the rear. I will just use duct tape and lots of JB weld haha! Really it looks like I can get all the brake parts brand new from an auto parts store. It's all parts from a 1986 Subaru GL-10 Turbo 4WD Do you happen to know if the shocks for the rear are the same too? I'm sure it would not be too difficult to weld a mount on the top end as long as the bottom bolts up. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
