Hi Matt

Legacies and Imprezas use the same hubs. They will fit, but check your wheel clearances before purchasing.

Sti brakes will fit... but wont fit with my GT wheels.... dunno what wheels you have. you may want to check into that before making a purchase.

I have Axxis/Repco pads and steel braided lines on my Legacy GT - this increased the stopping power signifigantly and for now is all that is needed. just another alternative for you.

Depending on it's age, Legacy GT aleady has the same disc as used with the 4pot calipers. Basically if its got 17" wheels and is 98MY on, you should have the larger discs already.

Thanks all, alas it's only a 95 model with 16" wheels.

Basically the brakes are fine, but being an estate and my other cars an FTO which stops pretty damn quickly I wanted to improve my stopping power.

In that case you will need new wheels as well, 16" from a 98MY on Impreza being the cheapest option.
