Nice!! Opinions on the swap?

[_RM_]

Really nice looking stuff there. How's the braking?

[Reason]

I never knew there was a difference between the LGT brakes and WRX. Any thoughts on the new setup?

[tnice17]

well i did the SS lines about a week in advance. that helped alot with pedal feel. the rotors had some surface rust but after driving for 2 days it rubbed off. with both of them combined it made a huge difference. i got the SS lines for 100 brand new so 205 all together was defly worth it

i also adjusted the brake pedal so its more touchy. i love my brakes now!

I thought later '02 and up LGT's have the same brakes as the WRX - unless your car isn't in that model range.

The early BE-BH models, 00-01, are RS-sized front brakes. 02+ are WRX/OB sized.

It's a good swap, and what I'm going back to from my 05 LGT fronts.

To tweak your info, only the later part of the 2002 production year had the WRX (11.5") sized brakes up front. I found this out when I went to do a rotor and pad upgrade a year or so back... :roll:
