Strange...must've been a running change they made when they ran out of supply of the old ones.
 
Then again, the PCs we buy from Dell are stranger - you never know when some of the components change. Seems like no two are exactly alike!

It was pretty annoying. Ordered parts for an '02, and what arrived didn't fit. Product specialist figured it out from dimensions and physical description that they matched the '01 parts.

I want to say 2004, just prior to the re-design. Can anyone confirm?

Was on the 04 VDC. Not on 05 or later. I believe it still is available in other markets, such as Japan.

Hmm.. I seem to recall looking at the then new 03s and being disappointed that the 6 cd changer was not McIntosh, or was a rebadged one. And from then on, I thought they stopped that relationship.

My wife's 04 VDC is McIntosh, at least thats what it says on the faceplate, and thats what the Subaru brochure for that year said.

Smaller Brakes on 01? Re: H6 passes 100,000 miles [otis123] by mountainwalker

So are brakes on 01 VDC Outbacks not as good as the brakes on 02-on? Can the 01 brakes be replaced with the larger better brakes and at what cost in parts and labor?
 
I'm in the market for an 01-04 VDC edition Subaru Outback, so the question is very timely for me. Mostly looking at 01-03 years.

Things to look for/avoid in buying 01-04 VDC Outback? by mountainwalker

I'm in the market right now for an 01-04 VDC Outback - will post some of the vehicles I found with brief notes and really looking forward to your feedback - in the meantime, wanted to ask in general, would you stay away from 01, 02, 03 or 04 model years for any reason?
 
I read above the 01 had smaller brakes and wondering how much this affects safety performance, and whether these can be replaced with later larger brakes and at what cost in parts and labor.
 
I prefer the 6 cylinder Outback and prefer the VDC edition. Second preference would be the LL Bean H6.

01 are smaller diameter discs than 02. Not sure if it made a real-life difference. Don't know if you can upgrade - probably not - you'd have to upgrade all the brake components?
 
All I do know is I went to Power Slot Frozen [Cryo] Rotors and ceramic pads and never looked back. It solved my problem of warped rotors - a common problem on many heavy cars...
