hi i've got a '90 brumby with a wrx engine and i'm looking for a set i've rear disc brakes. i've been told that i can get them off any pre 1985 4wd turbo subaru. anyone have any or know where i can get some? also, does anyone know if i will need them to get a mod plate? cheers, leo

We did not get pre 85 4WD turbo subaru in Australia. However there are those out there who have fitted the rear disc set ups from L Series RX and others have worked out how to fit the Vortex rear disc set ups. Get familiar with the search facility watching the bit search last two years or further, you'll find heaps fer sure.

If you have a WRX engine in a brumby, i seriously recommend the 'Crossbred Brake Kit'

It costs a little more, the stopping power is much worth it. Plus you will be able to fit later 5 stud rims from impreza's and libertys

Any year "L series" 4x4 Subaru disc brake rear end hubs will fit. Either RX Leone Turbo or Vortex (Vortex are identical).
Some 2wd Vortex's and L sedans also have rear discs, however these are NOT suitable (unless you want to run front wheel drive only heh).

I agree that it's a good idea getting the Crossbred kit if you can afford it, although I ran standard RX turbo brakes in my sedan with EJ20turbo without any real issues, but I'm no boy-racer these days. Just make sure you adjust your driving habits away from a "late braking style"....or it will most likely end up being a "too late" braking style!

I have a set here mate, off a 1989 RX Turbo,

email if interested [email protected]

cheers.

If Leo's not interested, How much do you want for them? Are they are 4wd ones?

First in gets 'em, yes, they are 4wd.

Hubs, Rotors, Studs, Calipers, Lines, Backing plates, NO PADS

Gotta be worth $350, wreckers want 5...

damn, looks like i missed out there. does anyone know how much the crossbred kit is?
