Default 4 pot brakes.

Can people on here just confirm that I am not losing the plot. We were having a discussion .bout the 03 / 04 plate WRX and the Audi contingent decide to tell me that the "2" Pot brakes on the Impreza let it down!" to which I said the new ones and in fact from MY99 onwards had 4 pot brakes.

The anoraks (sorry to generalise) do not believe me.

Am I cracking up??????

nope, they are 4 pots......and its damn easy to tell as well.....given that there are 2 distinct lumps on either side......if you look at the rear, there is only one.

Hence 4 pots on the front....2 pots on the back...

Im not sure what theyre moaning about, a BMW 7 Series have 2 pots front and rear!!!!
