  1. Lets just say it sells for this price or higher =). Yes its been sold. Still sad about it =(. I'll miss her greatly. Likely the best car I will ever own. But thus is life.
  2. oh yea he contacted. I dont think hes going for it. Yea sad end for his previous ob!!
  3. Selling my 2009 Subaru Outback 2.5XT Limited with 5spd manual transmission. 96k original owner miles and looking for a new home to a person that will care for the car as much as I have cared for it. Asking $12,000 obo (or best offer) Most details as well as a google doc link with every detail you may want to know can be found here: https://sfbay.craigslist.org/sfc/cto/d/san-francisco-2009-subaru-outback-25-xt/7616240330.html I will definitely miss this car. Lots of memories. Still remember taking it off the lot and of course all the road trips I took in it through when I got married and now with kids. I need to sell because wife doesnt know how to drive stick (those long road trips are brutal not being able to switch off) and we need a larger car in general. Feel free to message me with questions. https://i.ibb.co/FHPzD7q/outback-sale-055.jpg
  4. yea and i think for what this kit was designed for (utilizing OEM rotors + non float caliper) it hits the nail on the spot. how many years/miles did you run the setup for? I do have pad overhang using wilwood pads. Maybe about 3mm. You can make it out in this pic. Pad is the gray thing sticking out with the small grooves marked by red arrows. yellow shows edge of rotor, blue pointing at rotor I guess most of my concern would be this where only 60% of rotor is used. Im NOT going to be tracking at all (car would be an embarrassment on the track). Wonder if prolonged street use over the years and heat in only this 60% and not the other 30-40% would cause issues. Overall Eric has told me no issues at all. And no one here has ever mentioned anything but liking the upgrade so...maybe all is cool! All in all i do not want any safety concerns.
  5. I’ve chatted with Eric myself too and obviously read through everyone’s thoughts here….seems ok and people like you have ran it w/o issues. I think I’m ok but Alas brembo itch is scratching again every time one person sows doubt I’m sure you’ve experienced the uneven pad wear due to the pads not covering the rotors but having overhang… what do you think of that?
  6. bumping this thread again back up.....anyone with any concerns about how the front calipers (or pads in this case) arent fully covering the rotors? My suby shop just expressed major concerns over the "frankensteining" of this setup.
  7. So i just did the wilwood brake swap on the front and LGT rears for my outback XT. The oversight was where i finished the night and let the car sit overnight and the brake fluid reservoir ran dry as there was a leak in a non-tightened brake hose So i must have bled and ran through 4 bottles of brake fluid by now and yet pedal is still spongy. Zero bubbles coming out of calipers. If the calipers arent bleeding any bubbles at all, would the pedal sponginess be a problem of air in the ABS or master cylinder or something else? Are my assumptions correct in thinking its probably not the master cylinder giving i ran so much liquid already through it? Probably the ABS and needing a Subaru Select Monitor (SSM) from what i read? Or something else?
  8. Resurrecting this thread. Just installed the wilwoods today and plan to bleed tomorrow. Got to ask, why can’t Wilwood just use the typical banjo fitting instead of some NPT to AN? Feels like my hose will just unscrew itself or leak. Anything else I may need to know for a safe installation?
  9. These are likely for the outback but im guessing the flanges and belts can work for other platforms. Bought these and dont need them anymore. Prices are shipped/paypaled. Hawk Street 5.0 HB432B.661 - $95 - upgraded my calipers and these dont fit anymore. brand new, never opened Gates Micro V K040332 and K050344 Serpentine belts - $30 - bought these and was stupid enough not to look at my own maintenance records that i had already changed them a few months prior...lol. Nameless Performance exhaust flanges - $20 - bought for a custom project but ended up finding the exhaust i wanted so no more custom project needed more pics: https://ibb.co/album/cDv1S5
  10. can anyone who has bought erics kit (brakeswap.com) confirm for me how long your front brakes lines are? having a hard time getting technafit to respond to an order for my outback so if these LGT lines are long enough then ill go for it. If not im assuming this will work also: https://www.wilwood.com/LineKits/LineKitsProd?itemno=220-9196 if our cars have the M10 1 IF on the chassis hard line end...
  11. Did yo know what the friction coefficient of those pads were? Im going to run wilwood BP10 in the front and stoptech streets in the rear. Mostly because wilwoods are cheap and easy to obtain, stoptechs seem rated well and cheap. im thinking this is a 0.45 up front and a 0.35 mu in the rear but unsure. Dont want to throw bias way off.
  12. Anyone still out there in 2021 that has done the Wilwood front swap with rear stock LGT can help me calculate brake bias (what pad you using also)? Just curious on the numbers.
