MY98 rear brake upgrade?
What are the options for upgrade on rear 1 pot brakes for this? Any better calipers available? Any recommendation on discs, pads?
i 've just upgraded to Godspeed Brembo kit on the front, and want some more stopping power for the rear, but don't want to change the brake bias too much. Thanks Keigo |
TBH m8, it may not be worth your while doing.
I've Brembo/AP kit on the front & standard MY99 OE pads/calipers on the rears. I have never had any problem with this setup and this has been used extensively on trackdays, 2000+ miles with no problem. Set of pads generally lasts 3 track days, whereas fronts last 1 and a bit. Don't forget that most of your braking is done by the fronts and upgrading the rears may just unsettle the car. Upgrade options are obviously different pads, STi twin-pot or I think some people have put WRX/STi twin-pots from the front on. |
PTMW,
Those people who used the front 2 pots on the rear, did they use larger discs as well? I'm thinking that the discs are easier to get hold of than the STI 2 pot callipers. |
Are standard UK 2 pots convertable to the rear? Is it just a matter of taking the 1 pot and putting the front ones on? Could be interesting...

The 03 STI has 2 pot rears and larger discs as standard. The 2 pots are like rocking horse dung, but the discs arent. So, if I can get a pair of these discs, which I'm told by Ian Godney will fit the classic rear hubs, then it may be a goer!! |
