Default Does the newage space saver fit over brembos?

Silly question but ive never tried to see if the space saver in the boot fits over the Sti Brembo set up on my Sti bug? These must be a different type than the ones supplied with the WRX?

I believe the sti has a different spare to a wrx, so I presume as I have brembos on my WRX I would have to put the spare on the back and the back wheel on the front if I had a puncture in the front wheel. Never tried it though

Yup, if you get a puncture on the front, your suppose to swap the rear one first with the space saver then move that one to the front, dunno why they dont put a full size one in really (except it wont fit, bad design by subaru there lol)

The Importers want to maximise their profits, so a cheap spare is used.

A while back people fitting Brembo's to WRX's fell foul to this problem.

Dunx has a fifth full size himself....


LOL
