info on the parking brake shoes
This may be common SVX knowledge but we fell into the mistake. We ordered new parking brake shoes from Rock Auto. Used their online info and got a set of BOSCH BS794. They were too small being for 170mm(?) drum area diameter rotors. Apparently most if not all online shops provide this smaller shoe for the SVX, using variants of the BS794 part number. The SVX has 190mm drum area rotors like 2005 WRX STIs. Found a set of 848pb at pep boys that fit properly. So bottom line buy from Subaru or make sure you get "848" part number shoes.
Credit for info goes to the peeps on SVX NATION on FaceBook.
