Drum to Disk conversion on 2WD '92 Legacy?? yes,I searched.

Featured Replies

Car is a 1992 Legacy wagon.

 

Would gladly convert rear drums to disk brake setup if possible.

 

With the Loyale line there were 2wd turbos that had rear disks.

 

Any models fit that catagory with the 5 lug Legacy line? Or any crossover installations from other makes?

 

Thanks for any help.

Uhh, all 1992 Legacy Wagons had 4-Wheel Disc brakes.

 

+1. If it's a USDM 90-94 Legacy, it has rear disc brakes.

Wow,I didn't even look.Thanks,I guess.

 

I think I have some brake work coming up.:-\

 

My wife's '96 Brighton has drums,so I just figured the '92 had cheapy (L series) wagon had them too.Thanks for the edjumacation.

 

Maybe that's why I couldn't find anything in the search.:lol:

 

So Shawn, :confused: I sure do trust your opinion....and since I haven't even looked yet....;) talk to me brother.Were you thinking of something else?

Wow,I was going to delete this out of embarasment,but I'm going to check later.Just been too busy since I got the car to look.

 

Quick eBay check shows me rotors 'n pads for '90-'05 Legacy....:confused:

 

See you guys later.

Actually the first gen legacies were a lot more "plush" or refined then the impreza line....and even some of the second gen legacies. Subaru cheapened things in the mid-90's to cut costs.

So I guess I should have asked about a conversion for my wife's 96 Brighton.:-\

Sorry to say, but i have 92 legacy 2wd with rear drum brakes as main rear brakes.

 

Models that were sold here (legacy only, doesnt matter sedan or wagon):

2wd any transmission (only 1.6, 1.8 and 2.0) 2disc + 2drums, no ABS

4wd any transmission (1.8, 2.0 and 2.2) 4disc + ABS

4wd turbo (2.0) 4disc + ABS

 

And i really would have liked to have ABS and 4 discs since it looks nicer with my new alloy wheels :grin:

;)

 

Other markets got models that were more basic and stripped than the US did, so that doesn't surprise me.
