Default rear brake swap to 2 pots.

what is involved in changing the sliding rears to 2 pots?
i have a v5 sti with brembos and pf discs and pads on the front but want to get more braking from the rear.
is it worth changing or should i just get some better discs and pads for the rear?
cheers.

I would suggest getting the rears done as well mate. You will need the calipers, pads, 290mm discs and caliper mounting brackets. All of these can be bought from Ian Godney @ Welcome To Godspeed Motorsport

I have a set of his on my car. https://www.scoobynet.com/projects-4...ting-mods.html
Have a look at post #49 onwards

I've got the rear fitting kit from Ian, great service, just waiting on my calipers from another source. They should be here for the weekend, so I'll try and take some pics whilst I'm doing it.
It seems very worth while doing it, especially for you with Brembo's up front.

As far as I am aware, apart from the previously mentioned fitting kit you will need.
