To fit the front brembo's on you need the calipers , 326mm discs , and the correct pads for the calipers , you can retain your existing hoses , and they will bolt straight onto your front hubs.

The rears are a bit more involved , if you don't already know , the centre of the rear discs are also a drum for the handbrake , your standard handbrake size is 170mm , and the brembo handbrake size is 190mm , so your handbrake shoes will not lock up on the brembo discs , there are two ways you can get around this , we make adapters which we fit into our discs to reduce the handbrake size down to suit you standard handbrake size .
The other way if you already have discs is to fit the thicker handbrake shoes we have made which will fit the standard axle and suit the larger 190mm brembo handbrake.
Whichever way you go , you also need the mounting bracket kit as the rear calipers will not fit onto the backplates without them.

These are the details and prices of the parts we make

You also need at least STi 17" wheels to clear the fronts, although WRX 17" wheels will clear the rears.

Hi
Yes same info applies for your car , we offer our front and rear grooved discs and kevlar pads for £250 , or with orangestuff pads for £399 , add £100 if you want the inserts fitted into the rears discs and a mounting bracket kit

Quick thread resurrection

I have a 97 STI RA with the r180 rear diff and large solid discs/sliding calipers.
Do I need an adaptor kit to put brembos on the rear?

Thanks in advance
