I am now a proud owner of a 99 RHD subaru legacy wagon. BG5

I traded my 96 240sx for it.

I have many plans on the car.

first is the cheapest, EJ20R swap.
Stance GR + plus coilovers
18 inch with aggressive wheels
rear disc brakes.
bigger brakes in front
aero
JDM taillights

currently the car has
JDM headlights
JDM bumper
JDM fogs
JDM hood
JDM fenders w/jdm side turn signals.

only thing i would like to know really.

is what bulbs are in jdm headlights and fogs.

i know low beam is H4 so far.

and as far as rear drum brakes to disc brakes....what brakes would work in the rear? and has anyone done it yet?

thanks

I guess you got yourself a mail wagon? I'm jealous. I'm gonna undergo a RHD conversion in the next few months with my Outback using parts from a mailcar. Welcome, post pics.

Welcome to the forum and it says the pictures was deleted or private.

Plenty of Impreza owners do it.

Just find an Outback or GT or even late model L wagon and snag the entire rear assembly - hubs, calipers, bracket, lines.
You'll need to run the ebrake cable as well. You should get the rear sway bar (if it's an Outback) as well.

Yes sorry. It is set on private. I will change that but on iPhone. Thanks for the help. Will prop valve and brake master cylinder need to be changed as well for proper braking?
