new here but...
well im pretty much picking up an 02 TS wagon, and before i ask questions, i try searching first...but for some reason the search feature is limited to one in 90 secs on this forum and 1 in 30 secs on nasoic...what is the deal with that? i think the time limit should be removed...

imo...i think the time limit is there b/c of the numerous searches made evryday by numerous ppl would slowdown the site for everyone. by limiting the searches made at the same time would prolly make this site more user friendly....i know what your saying though. i get irritated by that too.

i know what to do on honda's, but it seems like subies are a bit different...

-Full rear hub/knuckle assembly off of a subaru with AWD, disk brakes and ABS (sounds specific, but really easy to find)
-Rotors
-Calipers
-Pads
-Brake lines (I am upgrading to stainless steel)
-Parking brake lines
From what I have heard, it is not a simple instalation but not a terribly difficult one ether. Expect to spend 4-8 hours on it, as you have to take up the rear seat and some of the rear carpet A great tutorial on it (that I will be using) is here: http://wac.addr.com/auto/obs/disc/disc.html
And BTW, Welcome to the forum

My suggestion actually is to try and find the assembly off of a early 90's Legacy Turbo. THat is what I looked for and found, and is the best option as it is the only USDM model to have been equipped with Ventelated Rear rotors.

but the vented disc will add a bunch of weight and probably cost more and not really give that much in braking distance, but thanks for the suggestion and look out
*i hope im not sounding like an arrogant dick*
if it comes off that way, sorry...

Nah you arn't
Acutally (not to sound like a arrogant dick ) the old legacy turbo disk's are only slightly more expensive, and minimally (if any bit) heavier. I picked my entire set up for $200 + shipping which is about what I was going to pay for the regular ones off of a '93 Legacy non-turbo.
