If you look at my posts, you’ll find some info as I already did the swap ~10 years ago.

Yes I have STI axles, STI front knuckle. I don't have the measurement. Any good machinist will be able to do the job. You also need to work for the parking brake to make it works.

Sorry for the crappy pictures, I've took them in 2010. The offset of the bearing is also a little bit different. Like 3mm if I remember. I've been using R180 axles because I also run a 6 speed. Since then, I have a little bit of vibration and I think it's because those axle are to long for my LGT. I'll might shorter them when I have time. Car didn't ride a lot since all those years.

Yes, I've made it in 2011. Front is the easy part. You need a custom made coilover with the STI lower bracket in it. For the rear, we machined the trailing arm to put the bigger STI bearing. The bolt partern is also not the same. You need to mod the handbrake cable braket to use the Legacy cable with the STI backing plate. I've posted couple pictures but it looks like they are no longer available. I can check if I still have them but I really don't know if I've kept them.

Stop loosing your time with the front. You don't have to modified anything to fit. Simply use the correct parts. The rear is to complicate to be offered by a company at a plug and play solution. -Modified rear bearings from a 08+ STI -Modified rear trailing arm from a 05-09 LGT -Modified parking brake kit from a 08+ STI -STI rear brake disc and pads - and other custom made parts This is why no company want to offer a 5X114.3 conversion. It will cost more than 2k$ just in parts.

I run my car with 5X114.3 since 2011. I will try to take some picture of the bearing installation but I'm not sure you will find many information from.

You're wrong. The bearing diameter is not the same. The bolt pattern is completely different.

This is not for LGT sensor. You can use it on GC and GD Impreza.

Juste to let you know that the ABS sensor is a pain in the ass to fix on the new setup. Like you know, the LGT dit not use VSS to display speed. It use ABS output. It's no way you can do this mod for hundreds!!

I'm sorry. We used the 08+ rear bearing. You can see it on the picture I post couple months ago.

I used the 05 bearing and machined the trailing arm to fit it.

Yes I speak English!! The problem is not what you have to do but HOW. We don't took any measurement or any kind of information when we did it. You cannot use the STI bearing in the front for one simple reason. THE SIZE!! It don't fit on the knuckle. We tried everything to fit the 5X114.3 and did it the simplest way. If a customer come here to do this mod, I’m pretty sure it will cost it +- 1000$ in working time, machining and fitting. Add the parts and you have the price for this conversion. Ah and for your information guys, I’m noob here but I tuned cars since 17 years.

I'm really sorry guys for the late reply. This is my rush season here in Quebec. It's impossible for me to explain how you can do this mod but I can help you figure it out. We’ve machined the rear trailing arms to put the STI bearing on. We put the STI backing plate. To be able to fix it, you need to change the bolt pattern of the plate and change the position of the spring retainer of the parking brake. In the front, you need a custom coilovers to fit the right knuckle. This is all the info I can give you via internet.

This is the offset difference between the two hubs. http://sphotos.ak.fbcdn.net/hphotos-ak-snc4/hs397.snc4/46027_419929556754_714336754_5406330_8107697_n.jpg http://sphotos.ak.fbcdn.net/hphotos-ak-snc4/hs435.snc4/47866_419929606754_714336754_5406331_8308045_n.jpg I will post the front mod soon.

I'll use R180,STI axle and brembos. It will not be a problem for me.
