Edit: Quickly did an update as I realized that the STi rotor I referenced was the 5x114.3 one and not 5x100. Just to clear up any confusion.

Hey all,

Another update! Finally got the rotors for the brake upgrade, and boy, these fuckers are huge. 360mm in diameter is unreal for our little cars.

The Cayenne calipers fit the rotor perfectly and the pad annulus is perfect, really happy about this choice.

Fellas, 

Good news! The Dacia Sandero brake rotors have arrived, and they are ENORMOUS. Also, quite heavy, coming in at 15kg a rotor! These are the OEM option for the big old AMG lumps so... no doubt they won't get very hot in my little Lib. They're also high carbon rotors, meaning they won't warp, ever, and they're safe to be drilled (which they are from Brembo).  

This little project so far, is proving friendly to the wallet, having spent approximately $450 for the calipers, and $340 for the pair of rotors. New pads from TRW will cost about $135 for a front set. The machining time and the engineering time is where the majority of expense would be for the general public, which I'll be removing. On that, I may consider offering a predone rotor and hub centric ring package for anyone looking to do this upgrade. If the brackets are easy enough, I'll do a complete package. Let me know. 

The project moves forward! 

Haha thank you Benny! I've noticed a huge discrepency in cheap BBK's that the Euros have but we don't. Which is odd. 

That's my thoughts as well, I've had a couple messages from people interested in buying assmebled kits when all is said and done. Once the rotor arrives, I'll 3D print some "brackets" to see how close everything gets. 

Keep the Brembos, awesome looking shelf piece, LOL! 

Wicked good Benny! Love it. The gen 5 Legacy is a genuinely nice car.

Very keen to see it in the flesh soon.
