HEY fans dont rely know much bout this stuff so looking for some help i have a 1998 impreza 2000 turbo wagon with ****e brakes looking to change them to 4 pots can anyone tell me wat to do can you just change the calipers over or do you have to change other stuff as well thanks

BLACK V5

You need discs and calipers as the 4 pot discs are bigger. They will just bolt on.

tathan

I thought MY98 had 4 pots?

imprezahubbard

nar the my99 had 4 pots and thanks for your help black v5 also do you have to upgrade the brake lines on anything

rogos

you dont have to upgrade the brake lines but the trouble with std brake hoses is they swell when you brake so you are theoretacally losing brake effort whereas if you upgrade to ss braided hoses they hold pressure a lot better and reduce lost braking effort.

For all brake queries and bits, you can do a LOT worse than drop an e-mail to ian@godspeedbrakes.co.uk.

Oh, and you need a minimum of 16" wheels to accomodate 4-pots, plus they need their own discs since they are different sizes.
tried any breakers? Google "Subaru breakers".

JDM MY97/98 v.3/4 STi's got the 4-pots.

Then all MY99/00 Classic turbos - inc. the UK ones - got them too.

Hijack - sorry. Do you need 4 pots off a classic to go on a classic or will , for example , bug-eye ones fit a classic. Thanks

New Age WRX 4-pots are exactly the same, I believe (as far as a straight swap onto the Classic's hub carrier goes).

293/4/5/6mm dia. discs are required to make the most of them...

tathan

ah, not too genned on UKs lol


Going rate is usually £150-£250 depending on condition and what kind of discs/pads are with.

Sorry to jump on this thread too but I'm looking to upgrade my brakes as they aren't the best - 97 uk turbo 260hp - think I have the standard 2 pot ones. upgrade to 4 pot would be ok? Are brembos worth a look (mate's just put them on his 280hp leon)?
Cheers

bigsinky

brembos are pricy.

alcazar

Agreed and also need certain wheels.

I've got Godspeed Brembos at the front, with 330mm discs, and STi Brembos at the rear with the Godspeed fitting kit.
Both go under WRX 04 wheels, 17".

bigsinky

^^^ they are 335mm discs btw. that 5 mill makes all the difference

siannie

I'm sure it does (for you men) but at least my wheels are 17s - the guy who has the brembos had a scoob and also works for a tyre/brake place in exeter.
decent budget 4 pots then??

joz8968

Just done the maths - you get 3% extra swept area with 335mm ones (compared to 330s) LOL!

shaunyboyuk

I have a set if anyone is intrested..

joz8968

iTrader: (13)

Do you mean the Godspeed 335mm discs? With the hub-to-caliper extender brackets too, etc?

Do you have the 335mm kit's deeper pads too?

How much, etc.?

shaunyboyuk

We have crossed lines here i think, only have calipers and disc's as im upgrading

ginger321

fitted them to my classic 98 got them on ebay 250 quid plus new discs. just bought some black diamond pads - best mod i ever did to that car
