5 lug and using std L front calipers ?

Featured Replies

Hi all , new idea that am told reliably works a treat .

 

I'm told that you can retain your L's front E brake caliper but you need to change its mounting bracket (the bit that bolts to the hub) for 1st generation Liberty/Legacy . Was told that the pads are the same also .

 

Just on this is there anything the same as or very close dimensionally to the XT6 rear disc ? These are unobtaenium in Australia so if there's an alternative that would be good .

 

Cheers A .

Are you saying you need XT6 rear rotors? Or are you doing a 4-lug to 5-lug conversion and need all the other stuff? If just rotors, I can help you in that area.

 

May want to join this forum:

ok the 13 inch (as referd to by FHI parts books) ej brake setup seems to be caliper compatible with ea82 calipers (something about swapping one of the guid pins, If I recall).. the 14"+ is NOT.. also the pads are sorta conpatible, the legacy/early impreza pads will fit is ea82 carrier but in some cases be just a teeny bit lose and don't have the stopper pin that prevents the caliper piston from rotating (function of e-brake) they are also a slightly different shape and can't share shims..

Well John if you know of any in Australia I'm all ears .

I have Crossbred hubs and just need the discs which in theory work with L series rear calipers and backplates .

 

Cheers and thanks , Adrian .

Also on this topic what if any differences are there between L series front calipers and XT6 . I did pull some bits off an Australian spec 2wd turbo XT4 and the front calipers looked the same as L series .

Calipers are the same as far as I know.
