You won't be able to fit just one rear brembo, as it will be incompatable with the other side.

And it would need brackets to fit it. Also new discs pads etc.....
Speak to Ian goodney and see what he was lying around.

IIRC, 1999 models had the four-pot calipers with "SUBARU" in raised letters down them.

Dealers will have them, as MAY breakers, although breakers tend to want to sell them in pairs, obviously.

Be prepared to pay a fair bit, since they are a VERY good upgrade for the two-pot calipers fitted to pre-1999 models.

Try GradeA at Hayfield near Glossop.

He's after a rear and will have single pots fitted.... But I agree, try GradeA Subaru on 01663 744114
