Introduction Junkyard Upgrades - Brakes & Coilovers



Enzochan and myself are going to begin documenting our OEM Junkyard experiments on this Blog site. We hope this will aid other suby owners in finding affordable mods at bargain prices. This blog site will not be open for comments, please feel free to send us an email and we'll be happy to incorporate your information with references.

I have a 2006 Baja GT, while Enzo has a 2008 Forester XT.

We did some bench testing on the internet and discovered this:

1. BGT - RimGuru has 294mm fronts, 290 rears. We know the 06+ WRX 4 pots fronts will bolt right up and now think the rears might also since it's the same rotor.

Baja GT has GD Impreza Front suspension, and BP Legacy Rear Suspension. This should be the same for all BH Chasis legacy as well.

2. FXT - Enzo has 294mm fronts, but only 266 rears. Therefore he will definitely need to buy some rotors for the rear.

I have some LGT Zeal coilovers on hand and am going to swap out the Front uppermount to make SUPER BOMB ASS COMFORTABLE ZEALS for my BAJA-RU.

Pics will come shortly along with measurements.

Peace, RG
