4EAT STi Master Cylinder does it exist for a Forester?? - Page 3

Also Spot, no problems bleeding with having that high-point in your tubing spool? I'm thinking of a banjo bolt solution to eliminate the high-point.

I looked at a ton of fittings and this was the only solution I found, I haven't had any issue with trapped air afaik

Can just the stock master cylinder from a 4EAT Forester be used with a STI brake booster? That way there is no need to mess with the brake lines and such?

no, not that I can see the male/female interface is opposite on each

I wonder if I were to order the oem line for a manual car and swap it over along with the correct manual mc if it would work?

I would say so but the other end presents the same issue. Unless you also change the ABS block. Then I think you also lose the VDC

Manual brake hard lines would hook up to the hill holder, then from the hill holder to the brake MC, so no

I had to buy: two1/4" Flare nuts, two 1/4" to 3/16" reducers, two 3/16" to 10mm adapters, one 6" piece of hardline with two flare nuts on it. This would be much easier if someone made a M12 to M10 inverted flare reducer.

I had to bend (180*) a short line to go from the top/upward port down to the factory line. Assemble all the brass fittings to make it all fit. I also had a JDM booster that had a push rod that was an inch too long so I had to cut it with the Dremel under the dash and cut more threads onto it, not fun.

Anyway...it works awesome.

I have a 2007 forester with vdc, 4eat. Please indicate what i need to install sti bb+mc based on http://www.brakequip.com/products.html. There are pics and it will be easier for me to understand what exactly is necessary.

You need to make custom hard lines to attach to the master cylinder. I think you might need a brake line that converts from 12MM (the lines in the car), and 10MM to attach to the STi master cylinder.

I'd been wondering about the 4eat issue for a while. Thanks for all the great info everybody.
