Hi all im planning on fitting some nice 4pot front brakes, calipers, discs and pads this weekend. im wanting to know if the brake hose connection is the same before i start taking bits off.

the brakes came from a P1 and really looking forward to getting rid of the 2pots it currently has.

So is the 2pot brake hose compatible with the 4pots?

Thanks

Yes. 2 Pot pipes will fit on the 4 pots.

Yes I did this it's all a straight swop,pipes,discs and calipers .
Oh don't forget bleed nipples at the top!

easy peasy ....straight swap of everything as said above
....and much much better braking

Just make sure your wheels have the right offset and the correct size etc.

i have 17`s running on an ET48 and the gap between the pots and wheels is about 1mm,very tight indeed !!!

Also make sure all surfaces are rust free and smooth or you may get some brake judder.. As I did.

guys what wheels will fit over the 4 pot brakes? i am led to believe early classic 16" wheels won't?
i am looking to do this mod in the future but having to buy new wheels as well is a pain

These 16s will fit

i picked up a set for £50 (had to replace the tyres though)

http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/Subaru-Impreza...1%7C240%3A1318 (these 16s will fit as well)

I believe these are early 16s and won't fit

even the 2 pots run close on my 95 wrx wheels so i am guessing i will need the later style wheels then
bah its never straight forward is it

dan83590

Myblackwrx is spot on.

I had mine fitted under 17 inch Speedline alloys.

dlatch

love the look of the bigger wheels but have you seen the potholes in herts!! Dan do they do them in 16"? and still fit over 4 pots?

deffo more tyre the better round my way no wonder everyone drives 4x4 these days

stannah

Just a quick suggestion, you may want to replace the brass crush washers x2 for each caliper.

I'm fairly sure they come in 16 inch too, don't know if they'd fit over 4 pots though, sorry....

Island Boy

They fit no problem it come like that from a factory(the late model MK1 with 4 pots)i have them on my scooby
