Caliper Question
 
I know there are a few different 2 pot calipers on classic imprezas but what is the difference.

I have just bought these:
http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/2509057654...#ht_500wt_1287

I previously had these but the bleed nipple was seized on one:

I have the bracket that was with my previous 2 pot turbo calipers so will that fit with the new ones i just bought on eBay or does that not have a separate bracket because the caliper and bracket are integral and just pivot?

And last question, will 4 pots fit on the 2 pot bracket I have?

dont need the bracket, the 4pots bolt right onto the hub mate.

The ones you've bought appear to have the brackets (carriers) with them, so should bolt straight on!

Four pots bolt straight onto the hub, no bracket (carrier) is needed!

If I was able to get some 4 pots for pretty cheap do you think it would be worth me upgrading to them as I currently have a sport with 1 pots. Do you think 4 pots would be overkill?

Cant have overkill with brakes, bigger the better lol, if your getting them cheap id stick them on. you will need discs aswell as im sure the sport disc will be a bit smaller.

As above. You'll need 4pot calipers, discs and pads. Its a worthwhile upgrade on any Impreza, turboed or not!

Yup no problem, if I said I was about to get 4 pots for about 30-50 quid would you be jealous ;)

£30-£50 for calipers plus set of new stainless pistons-£70 plus new seals kit-£30 :-) Still a bargain :-)

reaper1988 09 October 2011 10:31 PM

Yeah would put a new seal kit on. Not sure they would need pistons. We will see, will probably buy them and refurb then sell them on as I wouldn't get full use out of them, saying that, I may put them on :P

No, I got a set for free. Which I then did a deal with on a set of front Brembo's..

You've got to try harder. :D

AGHhhhhh, the new calipers I bought from eBay didn't turn up and had to get a refund. Does anyone have some spare 2 pots they want to sell? Twice iv failed to get some fitted now! :(
