Tribeca Rear Brakes?
Has anyone looked into using Tribeca rear brake rotors/calipers on the SVX? I was looking on Legacy Central to figure out some problems with my Legacy parking brakes and saw that the Tribeca has a 5x114.3 bolt pattern with a 170 mm parking brake. It uses a 320x18 mm rotor so that would be quite an upgrade for us if it worked...

The fronts are 318x20mm. Still would be a 2potF/1potR system. Gotta think of the unsprung weight it might add aswell. It could deffinetly use some more looking into though. Dustin

Re: Tribeca Rear Brakes?
Regarding the Tribeca front brakes, this is what I found on Legacy Central from one who has done much more research than me:

Re: Tribeca Rear Brakes?
Interesting idea.. The only problem for me might be that the Tribeca is a relatively new vehicle, so there isn't a lot of likelihood of used Tribeca calipers being all over the market, and new might be kind of expensive.

Still it is kind of expensive to try without knowing if it would work or not. I might have to see what Rock Auto's return policy is. EDIT - They have a great return policy, so I might try this once I get the Legacy running and get the SVX in the garage...

I've currently got an '06 STi sitting my driveway waiting on a full engine build. Maybe I can talk the owner into letting me take some measurements off some things. Dustin

Re: Tribeca Rear Brakes?
The STi Brembo's have already been measured up and checked out, they don't work with the SVX.

That might be fixable with a bracket. I don't think the rears have been measured either. And I can check hub/suspension measurements aswell (which is more what I was implying at). Sorry about the confusion. Dustin

Re: Tribeca Rear Brakes?
Ah, gotcha. What would you like to know about suspension measurements? I borrowed a V7 STi suspension from a local Subie club member to measure and compare to the stock SVX parts. I've got most of the important numbers stored here somewhere. The long and short of it is that it should be doable, but requires some "make-it-work-ness", involving grinding, drilling, welding...

Do you know how the hubs compare between the two? Dustin

Re: Tribeca Rear Brakes?
Here's the summary of what's needed, from the thread I had going on the planning of this swap (thread here). I don't think it's impossible, but it looks to be a fairly involved process. If I do end up going this route, it will be with adjustable coilovers for the summer and stock Impreza struts for the winter (or maybe even Forester suspension, lift the car a couple inches for some serious snow blasting action.)
