hi,does anyone know the measurement between the two locating bolt holes on the front 4 pot calipers?(the main bolt holes that fix to the car?

 

Well, they bolt directly to the OEM hub carrier, so can't you take the wheel off, caliper off and measure the hub carrier's hole-hole pitch?

Or am I overlooking something really obvous and generally being a doofus? (Probably )

 

No sorry Why? maybe we could help some other way? For example; If you want to replace standard WRX 2pots with Sti 4pots then they will just bolt straight on

 

yes joz i do realise that ,the reason im asking is because im going to fit front brembos 2 morrow,im led to believe they bolt straight on but im sat here cleaning them thinking oh s**t,the hole centres look really far apart and wondered if anyone had a set to hand to stick the tape measure on as it is a bit dark out........otherwise i wont be able to sleep 2night

 

there is a possibility someone has a set off the car to measure????

 

Hopefully.

I would have thought one of the specilaist might know, also.....

 

Doubt this will be any help but a lot of information about Brembo's here;

Notes on Brake Interchangeability - NASIOC
The STi Brembo Brake FAQ - including "will STi Brembos fit on [x]?" - NASIOC

Lot's of my08 talk but may be something in there for you.Goodluck eitherway

 

thanks for that mate,it does state they will bolt straight up,maybe its me,the brembos are alot bigger and maybe the centres are the same,it just looks like there is a greater distance between the holes on the brembos,guess ill just have to wait till 2morrow.i expect im worrying about nothing as usual,dont think ill be sleeping to well tho!

 

I think I read in another thread earlier today or last night that the fronts do bolt straight on, but the rears require some caliper spacers or something....

 

Sell the Brembos on and get the K-Sport kit with the replacement PF pads! Supposed to be an awesome set-up!

I'll be getting them lol....

 

that was probably my other thread.im hoping bigtime!!!!its probably my eyes,it could be an optical illusion?

 

You can never judge these things in isolation without a context.

You defo need to find out the exact measurement....

 

i know.......please someone,what are the 4 pot hole centres?????? im going mad

 

Going?!

 

wheres splitpin when u need him?

 

They will fit but you need longer bolts..../

 

i have the bolts that come with the calipers,(for the brembos)is this what u mean by longer bolts?

 

Yes

 

cool,i have also read somewhere that my standard hoses are fine to use,anyone confirm this?

 

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

As alyn says , it will all just bolt on , you use your standard hoses not the hoses that come with the Brembo's , they are all the same lengths and have the same fittings on the ends , but the hoses from a 2001 car have a different fixing where it attaches to the strut , and these hoses wont fit your strut fixing
quoted by ian godney of godspeed brakes..........perfect. thanks guys.

 

They bolt straight on using std hoses.

Hope you have the bolts that fix them on as they are different to the original caliper fixing bolts.

 

I can also confirm they fit straight on. I found the original brake lines a pain to fit, but they do go on.

 

thanks guys
