brakes- small cheap upgrade

[Grafton]

would the BD GT front calipers fit onto my L rotors and into my wheels? (14")
i like the idea of 2 pot fronts where most of my braking power is.

As far as I know, you need 15" to clear the 2 pots.

guess i need to steal my brother-in-laws' stock impreza 15" alloys ... :twisted:

what size is the stock 5 spoke that came on the legacy gt anyway?

and what about the rotors?
there are rotors for 14" wheels available for the gt according to the advance auto parts web site, so i can cling to my winter 14"s hopefully

there is an advance auto in town that has both calipers in stock i'll go there and ask to look at both and compare sizes

thanks for the link,
the gt/lsi has a 10.9 in front rotor and either 16" or 15" alloys while the L has 10.1" rotors guess i get new rotors, mounting brackets, calipers and pads from a gt along with some 15" wheels and i am good to go.

I went with this idea and found out that its cheaper usually to get the calipers from a parts store and turn yours back in for a core charge they usually dont look in the box. by the way the gt double calipers are singles in the back and the same size so really no use upgrading those in the back i thought they were different but exactly the same. also if you go to parts store to get them then make sure you get the ones with a mounting bracket with them and theyll want it with the mounting bracket back on the old ones that you are returning for a core charge.

I'm pretty sure Grafton is waiting for me to part out the BD so he can come get the front brake hardware AND the GT 16" wheels. :)
