I did think of it, but their a bigger hub design so would be proud of the ally wheel hub by quite a margin.

Bought some EBC turbo Grooved ones now anyway...

AAAARRRRRRHHHHHHHHH !!!!!!!!!

Just tried to fit my Gold Brembo's on the Front with EBC disks, and the damn mounting bolt for the caliper has a different thread to the 4-pots.

2-pot & 4-pot Caliper Mounting Bolt Pt.No 901130011
Brembo Caliper Mounting Bolt Pt.No 901120103

The Brembo appears to have a slightly corser thread

I'd already taken the brake line, Caliper & Disk of only to find I could not get the Brembo's on.

Re-fitted everything and bled the brakes...bloody waste of time that was.

Will be on the phone to Subaru tommorrow, to see what their gonna sting me for 4 bolts (which no doubt won't be in stock).

The bolts you used between the bracket and adapter plate, is there anything special about them or will any bolts do?

cheers justin

Standard M10 thread which is a 1.5 pitch.
Both Rentonone and myself used a spacer to replace the washers once the size required was measured.

I used a 20mm Dia x 12mm Length spacer. With 10.5mm Bore. This seemed to centralise the caliper with the disk.
