hi all, i think the brakes on my 94 impreza wrx r n't really that good. wud bleeding them or changin the brake fluid make them any better? think dot 3 fluid is in at the min. the pedal isn't spongy or anythin like that, just dont think it stops too good. any advice???? thanks.

 

Same on my 95 WRX, most on here agree brakes are shocking and recommend the four pot conversion, this is the route i will be going down as soon as i can get hold of a set of four pot calipers.

 

yeah, i thought thats wot i mite have to do. how good will 4 pots work? do they still work good wen there cold or have they got to be really warmed up before workin properly???

 

so do u get 4 pots for the back aswell or just the front? wud there be anythin else i wud need to change if 4 pots were fitted?

 

4 pots from later classic fit straight on ( i did mine last year) i've left the rear as standard for the moment.
you will need the correct size pads and discs for them (obviously).4 pots are only as good as the discs/pads that you've fitted, i went with Black Diamond pads,standard discs,Goodridge hosing and dot 5.1 fluid and they work great (well compared to 2 pots).

 

How the brakes operate with different temperatures is all down the the pad material. The number of pistons has nothing to do with it. If you are just using the car on the road then you can simply use standard disc and pads and they will work from cold. For the "spirited driver" an uprated pad maybe in order. I use mintex 1144's but there are plenty to choose from.
