You're also talking $1.7k x 2 = $3.4k

Too much for me right now with my demands of the car. Perhaps one day I might go with something more serious. The car is a blast already braking, I'd love to feel what a more robust kit can do.

That's why I skipped the AP racing rears. I'll have to look up stock rear piston area when i got home.

There's some guessing involved...

It appears that Subaru simply changes the caliper bracket while retaining the caliper itself. Given this understanding, we have a single 38.1mm diameter rear piston for an area of 1.767"^2. It appears the Wilwoods shift bias rearwards with the front calipers (6 pot OR WRX fitment 4 pot) and then add even more rear bias with their rear kit.

Remember that distance from the hub matters as well...

Try opening a door by the handle, and then by the center of the door. Similar concept

Simple Just use a telephone Pole to stop, no BBK needed

Will a wilwood kit from a 06 legacy 5x100 work on our car?

They will bolt up if thats what you mean. All Subaru's have the same Brake mounting dimensions. thats why STi Brembo's can Bolt up.. Are they effective>??? thats something you have to do the homework on . Not familiar with the Leggy Wilwood Setup.. like I say, I know it will bolt up

Any idea if the rear wilwood kit from a impreza WRX 03+ will fit.

Or do you think I will also need that adapter from KNS

Will it be a good match with the front setup of the OP?

swift996 · 05-20-2013, 09:43 AM

Now that I got more go under the hood and battle suspension, I wish I had a larger kit up front. The kit is holding up great and definitely improved performance over stock but I'd call it a performance plus or street plus kit. I guess I'm just greedy for more performance. I don't see myself swapping them out, maybe down the road one day.

What's not performing like you expected? Are you finding they fade at the track?
