Default Fitting Brembo's to a classic Impreza

So currently have 6 pots on the front and 1 pots on rear and the breaking is off.

So thinking about swapping to full Brembo setup, so from what I've read callipers fit straight on with correct bolts fitted. But can you by 5x100 discs for a brembo setup? thnaks

braking You mean😉
what You mean by off?
when i had ksports 356mm ,under braking car was loosing balance due to saized rear pads on 2pots
no issues on my jdm even with front alcon race kit and brembo 2pot on the rear.
Front apracing with rear fuji bbk under braking it feels like something on the lower back pulls You to,different but positive feeling comparing to only front bbk where under braking Your body moves forward on the steering wheel.

Hi.




On the rear I have for sale soon Godspeed rear dics,pads and mounting brackets.This kit enables you to fit the Gold Brembo 2 pot rear calipers and 316mm discs from a 2001 onwards STI Impreza to your car.All you need to from Godspeed is thicker handbrake shoes.This will allow you to keep it simple.

Hi
You have the steel inserts fitted to these discs which reduces the handbrake down to 170mm , so no need for the thicker shoes , these discs fit the standard handbrake
