Default track car rear brakes

rear brakes done on track car at last

it was a simple mod from this

to this

330 mmx 20 mm COMPBRAKE set up top quality calipers greatdeals for the subaru
the disc removed and mounting bracket fitted on -no need to modify backplate


caliper mount and spacers

the disc bell with drum which has a hardened surface for the hand brake shoes


this set up requires sti wheels 53 offset

fitting hydraulic hand brake soon and 6 pot 330x32 mm front brakes

also fitting residual valves into rear calipers and also on front which will built in to them

some picts of the car
