I'm currently in the process of refurbishing a pair of Brembo's for my WRX wagon.

They are going to be red to match the rear 2 pots but I'm undecided as to what to put on them?

Other than the normal Brembo sticker, what have others used? Subaru stickers? WRX stickers?

Also, how much will my brake bias be fecked up once they are fitted?

Go with Brembo stickers. No point downgrading them to WRX callipers. Use good calliper paint and calliper stickers can be purchased from Fleabay cheap enough.


Brake bias will be fine with the 2 pots. The fronts do most of the braking anyhow. It won't change. You will be just fine!

What are the mounting bolt threads like, bleed nipples, dust seals.

From experience buy Genuine Brembo seal kit if changing, nipples on ebay, as mentioned brembo stickers on ebay etc. New caliper bolts?

A good quality paint is the US high temp vht, also do a high temp laquer.
Just be sure all the threads are good, maybe worth buying helicoil set.

Thanks,

All threads are perfect, nipples and crossovers are currently off.
I have a seal kit ready and Anti knockback springs on order.

I've just ordered some Brembo stickers too.

I might take the Subaru stickers off the rear 2 pots also, otherwise they won't match lol.

I used sti stickers on mine front and back just to be different and 2k lacquer over the paint as it's resistant to brake fluid last thing u want is refurb then brake fluid drips and strips paint off

They look good, I thought about white with red stickers but didn't think they'd stay clean for long
