Yeah the photographer allows sharing of the photos but the stipulation is you dont crop out or remove the watermarks. I think that's a fair tradoff for free.

Sorry i dissappeared for a while off the forum. Yes it is a track car. Just got back from a Palmer motorsports track day in Palmer Massachusetts.

Nice setup. Love seeing other Silver Spec Bs still alive out there and looking good.

My 2008 Spec B

Hi All, Just wanted to share a couple of photos from my last track day at Palmer Motorsports in Palmer Massachusetts.

Cant tell you who the other spec B in our area is but I like your idea of a meetup. I would be down to meet with all the Legacy peeps in the area, like an exclusive cars and coffee lol. Again, maybe we are just creepy to want to meet up now adays....

Yup, that was me as well. Skipped timing while on the highway, car wouldnt start after that. Then shortly after that, the oil pump siezed and spun a rod bearing. She has a new motor in her now (again.....). My Legacy is officially off the road until spring now though. Ill be driving my Honda around until then.

Ha! Yes, too funny. I looked at your tow truck as you drove by and I thought I wonder if that is the guy from the forum.

No, haven't done an sti master cylinder swap, wasn't aware that was a thing haha. Why would I delete the brake booster?

After installation thoughts: OH MY GOD does this thing stop on a dime! I was nto ready for it the first time i pressed the brakes. Superior to even the Brembos I had on my previous legacy (sti swap) in my opinion. These bite so much harder! Haven't even installed the master cylinder brace yet, which will improve the feel of the pedal even more.

Part Numbers: Front: 140-12875-D Rear: 140-12878-D Install time: 6 hours with 2 guys and a lift (3 hours of that was figuring out the spacing and clearance, so follow this to get a good starting point) Remove all the brake dust shields on all rotors. I simply cut mine off. If you dont, the rotor WILL rub on them as they are too large. When installing the front, use the black spacers and about 5 washers (thats what worked for me) to gain clearance from the caliper to the rotor, and about 4 washers to space the bracket from the knuckle. For the rears, I did not need any spacers, but you will likely need to bend the factory brake line slightly to make it easier for the new brake lines to reach. Took about 30 seconds to do, just dont kink them.

Now that I have a little time, i will give more detail: First some photos of fitment:

Incase anyone else is looking to do this, the Wilwood brake it fits VERY good. 2008+ WRX wilwood kit with the 2002-2005 WRX rear brakes, no major modifications needed, just needed to bend the rear brake lines a little for a better angle.

October 11th (Sunday after next). You need to buy tickets in advance though from their website as I am told they only allow only so many people in total at the track that day. I will have my Spec B there entering in (most likely) bracket racing.

Springfield is a bit of a hike from my area but maybe we all will run into each other some time. Is anyone going to Import Faceoff at NE Dragway coming up soon?
