I have two (2) 2018 Crosstreks and I want to start setting them up for off-roading. If I change over to this breaking system, I assume the front and rear breaks are the same. If not, please tell me what I need to do differently for the rear breaks.
So the rear brakes are much smaller on basically all vehicles, for this you don’t necessarily need to upgrade the rears as the front is where all the force is being applied, if you chose to upgrade anyways you would need adapter plates and 2006 wrx 2 pot rear calipers
hey man i’m doing the same upgrade! i have a 24 xv the bolt pattern is different. do you think i could run stock 24crosstrek rotors? waiting on the calipers in the mail
@@Jeremy-dw2jt unfortunately not, though you can find conversion kit rotors that fit these calipers but with the 5x114.3 bolt pattern, it’s the same as what they would run on wrxs
i see WRXS control arms. good upgrade
Hello, I have a 2019 Subaru XV/Crosstrek, I have 4-piston Brembo brakes, do you know if they are compatible to buy?
Stick with your Brembo's they are way better.
Man, you’re living my dream. I wish to someday modify my 3.6R for offroading…even though thats not really what it was meant for.
I love how you’ve just taken over Carey’s garage since you lost Dorothy’s space while they’re away at the Rebelle 🤣🤣

Thanks for the video. I’m going to build out my 23 Crosstrek just needing advice and ideas. Since I want to Overland in it

@@silverbulletxv4497 ya i’m kinda putting together my own “kit”
I see you upgraded the control arms too, WRX?
@@NickBEADG yup they’re 15-21 wrx/sti! A big upgrade for sure over stock arms!
Nice!!! Hey, August 2024, are you gonna join us on part of our adventure? It will be a bunch of time in Moab and Grand Staircase.
Hmmm sounds like fun, might have to see about making that happen!
did you upgrade your break lines while you were at it to braided steal?
Not when I was in there originally though I’ve since swapped to second gen long travel SS lines!
