Hi All,

I have a Bugeye WRX running 272 but with standard brakes. How easy is it to upgrade to STI Brembos? Are the just bolt on?
Thanks

 

the fronts are as long as you have wheels to clear (the std WRX rims dont)

the rears are more of a faff as they use a totally different size h/brake assembly, so needs extra/special parts

Hi
Yes it all bolts straight on , the only part that doesn't fit properly is the handbrake as the brembos handbrake is 20mm bigger so your handbrake shoes won't lock them , you either need to fit the thicker handbrake shoes we do , or if you need rear discs we make insert sleeves to fit into the discs to reduce the handbrake size down so it fits the standard WRX handbrake shoes.
You will also need wheels to fit over them , or fit spacers as the standard WRX wheels will catch on the front face of the front calipers .
Hope this helps
Cheers Ian

 

when i had my 4pots on my wrx i had braketech discs all round and mintex1155 pads,5.1 dot fluid and braided lines and it stopped instantly,
when i fitted brembos with discs and fast road pads it was crap to say the least, so much so i was going to go back to my 4pots,

i then fitted better discs and NDX bluestuff pads and found a massive improvement.
