Can't see much point in a 2 pot to 2 pot conversion

Alyn means a 2 pot to 4 pot !

You need the discs , pads and 4 pot calipers and they fit straight on , if you have the 1 pot rear calipers , you would need the 2 pot rears , discs pads and fitting kit we make to fit , again , they will bolt straight on then

Cheers Ian

Hi
If you have the 266mm discs and one pot calipers fitted on the rear of your car , then you need one of these fitting kits and then the 290mm discs and rear 2 pot calipers will bolt straight on.

Because of the increased volume of brake fluid needed to fill the numerous pistons is greater... thus your pedal may sink towards the floor.

The m/c is always a grey area,some swear by it,others say no difference noticed.
then theres if you do do the change,what model of car will fit, so if you do a 95 wrx with 4 pots at front, 2 pots at rear,,what m/c are you supposed to buy which is suitable/fits to the classic etc ? then,will the current lines in the engine bay fit from the old places to the new m/c outlets ?

all good fun LOL

Dunx: mine has gone from 2 pot front, single pot rear, to 4-pot Brembo front, two pot Brembo rear and on the same m/c, with no problems. The brakes are brilliant.

my pedal feels better now than it ever did i say it still sends the same amount of pressure to the brakes but the volume dont make any difference it just spreads the load more evenly over the discs being four pots witch increases the braking effeicency steve
