I'm looking for a Subie Sport magazine from 2006. I know it's a long shot but it's got an LGT brake install on a wagon. Pretty much exactly what I'm doing. Figure it'd be nice to read that article if anyone has the magazine by chance.


Long shot. But hell... packrats r'us. I just tossed some mags from about that time. LOL! Probably the one I need. double LOL!

 

If I remember correctly Kyle did an LGT brake conversation on his wagon, you might want to talk to him.

 

Holy Smokes!


Strangely enough, my co-worker bought that car. I'll go take a closer look at it. I thought he just did the H6 rears.

I have the full LGT set up. Just need to finish cleaning up the rear calipers and decide if I'm going to rebuild them or just run em. They only have 90k on em. My current rears have 240k. LOL!

 

i have a full 06 lgt conversion on my 05 wagon.. did the conversion 5 months ago.. been great. The rears however..if you are going to get them done.. they need to be adjusted so that you hand brake can grab on to the rotor . there is an adjusting screw hole on the bottom( after pulling a rubber plug)


this is what you are adjusting:


you would need on of these hand brake adjusting tools to tighten up.



other than that its pretty much bolt on.

 

Did you remove or trim your dust cover?

 

You have to.

 

Yep. Just drilled the rivets and it came off

 

Yup, done at Acme Body Shop. I was upgrading to Brembo GT BBK so Allen (Mistaanime) wanted to go bigger brakes on the WRX wagon! There are spot welds on the dust cover, just drill out the area and it'll fall off. Otherwise the rotors won't fit.

 

Seems like the easier way to go but is it better than trimming it? I know you can take a wheel to it and trim off the lip and they'll fit.

 

I will go through my old issues if you are still looking for a copy.

 

yeah man. See what you can find.

 

Call Gary @ Mann. He knows this setup well because he has it on the Smurf, his track car. Same setup I'm doing on the FXT. He should even have part numbers.

 

I've got all the issues on disc. I can post the text from the article in question on here if you want. Just need to know which issue.

 

Im pretty sure there are multiple tutorials on NASIOC. I was inspired by Kyles former wagon, I did the conversion a few months ago on mine (furthering our twin status) and it went smoothly except for getting the wrong front pads(woops). You can get everything you need on rockauto, including the longer caliper brackets. Taking the dust cover is simple just make sure you tape some newspaper over the rest of the hub when you are drilling because shavings will go everywhere. Then take a mallet and a few wacks and they pop right off.

EDIT: Im an idiot and thought you were just talking about the h6 upgrade....carry on.

If all else fails you can pay the 20$ for the entire backcatalog.

I do not have said issue. Side note: I have spent a lot of time in the jon rereading subiesport.
