  1. did you fix the oil leak? where was it coming from i have oil in the same place
  2. i cant find any info the R180 being a direct fit. which year and model sti rear axles are needed? thanks
  3. look up val racing on facebook then search r160 there is some info here,they seem to be a reseller https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/LSD-Limited-Slip-Differential-For-Subaru-rear-gear-R160-VAL-racing/302625009764?hash=item4675db3064:g:7iwAAOSwq6hfU1Hb
  4. what LSD are available for the jdm BR9 R160 rear diff and front diff? i see there is the torque locker but i think a progressive lsd would be better i see some are using suretrac is it as simple as buying one from any used subaru diff and fitting it into the br9 housing? thanks
  5. ive found the answer they have different part number br9 looks like a single piston, i could be wrong. impreza has 2 pistons part number 26401AG050
  6. hello does anyone know if the br9 shares the same brake master at the impreza wrx sti that has black brembos? reason i ask is i have fitted lexus 430 4pot calipers they are huge put still uses a 43mm piston and black rear brembos, i now seem to have a lot more brake pedal travel and a lot more modulation .so i have to use more pedal for the same braking feel, if that makes sense. i also have ss lines. there not spongy but do feel a bit soft.there is no air trapped as i bleed the brake about 4 times. Then got my local garage to do it just to make sure so i wonder if the wrx sti has a bigger brake master and will it be a direct fit to the br9? gen 5 part number is 26401AJ010 thanks
  7. seems nobody know's about the lexus calipers outside of Russia, over there they use it on most subaru's
  8. yes lexus ls 430 4pots are a cheap upgrade and offers 13% increase in brake torque vs stock LGT calipers, very popular in russia it uses the standard br9 316mm disc.12mm spacers /longer studs are needed to fit the br9 alloys this makes them flush with the body work and looks great adapters cost about £130. i don't recommend just upgrading the fronts tho as it gives the br9 a rubbish brake pedal feel and i believe it pushed the biased to the rear. pm me if anyone whats the adapters made. only disadvantage is there is no weight saving as the lexus calipers are massive. lexus used calipers are £100 ish ,only mod needed to to remove the caliper locating pins. looks oem to
  9. there is also the cheap option of lexus ls430 4pot calipers .it uses the same oem front disc
  10. ive just fitted the black rear brembos and use the oem lines. if the hose is fitted to the caliper and the pipe is slack then it will rub on the driveshaft,if you hold the line up when connecting the banjo bolt there is enough tension to keep the hose there on its own
