| Yup, Subaru Legacy front calipers are easy to fit, the mount points are wide apart and doesn't interfer with the Bay holes. You need to fabricate an adapter and then you're good to go. |

Old thread, new question:
these Sharan discs, are they the ventilated ones if you want to use the Legacy calipers?
Reason I ask, some bloke is selling his '99 Impreza GT Turbo calipers for €100,- , which I think are cheap (am I wrong?). Just wondering if they would fit over the ventilated discs of a Sharan.

In effetti, è necessario estrarre il disco dal calibro per verificare se la parte è compatibile. Dobbiamo sempre confrontare. |
