The Sti 5 Type R has a 2 pot on the rear and a slightly larger disc.

The UK 99 has a new rear single pot caliper (slight change in pad profile) and does have vented rear discs.

The fronts on a 99 are the same as the STi 4 pots, as are the discs.

 

I've might have chance of replacing my MY96 brakes with either full UK MY99 or full STi MY99 V5.

Obvisouly the STi's are better, but what are the exact differences i.e. disc size e.t.c.

Thanks for any help..

Darren.

 

Hi,

As far as I know, the front disks, calipers, and pads are exactly the same on MY99 UK and STI v5. I'm not sure if the MY99 UK has ventilated rear disks like the STI5 or not.

Cheers,

Alex

 

Also, the type R has 4pots on the back, I think. Correct me if I'm wrong somebody

 

Cheers Pete, thought a 4 pot might be overdoing it a bit on the rear!

PS, what about my wheels/suspension?

 

Thanks people, very much appreciated !!

Darren.

 

Yes, as Pete says the STi5 front brakes are exactly the same as the MY99, it's only the rear that's different.
