Default Brembos on the rear?

I know you can get massive big Brembos for the front on Scoobies but does Brembo do a REAR application?

I have a 1999 UK Turbo wagon and will swap the brakes soon but it looks so naff when the fronts are trick and rears are standard or painted red.

Did the classic Scoobies have rear Brembos on higher spec models like the modern ones?

Thanks for any help

Nope to the second part, none of the classics had brembos, it was either subaru 2 pots or 1 pot calipers depending on model.

Have you tried looking at the likes of godspeed brakes??
Ian may be able to help you with front and rear brakes (inc calipers) but they do their own discs.

Dont be TOO concerned about the rear - 75% goes through the front....... rears are not AS important

Speak to RichWild at Jap Innovations to gte better discs for the rear - which will be sufficient - he will sort you out - and wayhey - the discs are cheaper than the OE replacements and far better........ NICE

You can buy Tarox rear set which is bigger rear discs and uprated pads but keeps the std calieprs.

Like said above though, dont worry about rear

I changed my rear brakes to the brembos from the new age and was a pain i nthe **** to change over
