EA81 vs EA82 BRAKE CABLE

Featured Replies

Just got my XT6 front calipers that I hope will fit on my Impreza brake assys. Do I now need Loyal brake cables to make this work?  With the Impreza front suspension on my 3" lifted Brat, the original Brat e-brake cables are now too short. Any help would be appreciated.  Thanks in advance

Jack your car up so it is off the ground in the front, then measure how short your existing measurements are.Add that measurement of what your existing parking brake measures.Then find a new cable, or loosen the cable mounting points to get the length you need.

 

An EA82 cable is only an inch longer than EA81, An Impreza has the shortest parking brake cable of the models in that year range. EA82 and legacy are virtually identical.

ok thanks..... the Legacy/Impreza cables are different, aren't they? They go to the rear wheels and the EA81 and EA82's go to the front wheels. Are they interchangable?

the legacy and ea82 cable are within 1/2"  in length of each other.No idea on if the ends are different.I'd say not, based on subaru's lego-ness but don't quote me on that.
