musubk Posted August 25, 2018 Share Posted August 25, 2018 I have a 1977 I'm trying to put back on the road after years of neglect. I have it running and driving but it needs brakes. I've read a little bit about using the calipers and vented rotors from a 1983+ car. Since I'm going to be replacing rotors and calipers anyway and those have better availability, this seems like what I want to do. Can anyone confirm what I need for this conversion? I've read just calipers/rotors on a 'stage 2' first gen but the info seems unclear on 'stage 1'. I think my 1977 with dual headlights is a stage 1, right? I read something about swapping on EA81 knuckles to make the calipers work. Has anyone here done that? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
StandardToh Posted May 24, 2019 Share Posted May 24, 2019 Hey did you ever find out the answer to your questions? I have a 1977 Subaru standard wagon. Everything is running and good to go except whoever had it before me stripped the calipers off it. They are not easy to find. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
moosens Posted May 27, 2019 Share Posted May 27, 2019 I think you have a stage two , not that it matters. Stage one is the same at the wheels. Whats the mfg tag say on your car ? Look on the drivers door. Just curious. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
moosens Posted May 27, 2019 Share Posted May 27, 2019 Early Coupes had disk brakes from 72 onward. Standard line didn’t get disks until 1976 I think. So only 76 and 77 stage one which are nothing different than stage two 77-79. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
