Default 1998 Sti 5 Type R rear hubs

Hi!

Does anyone know where I might find these second hand? I believe it's a unique Type R part, as the drive shafts are larger than those on other models.

My 1995 WRX is sat at the garage untill i can fine this so any help is much appreciated!!

Is this solely to fit the twin pot rear callipers?

If so the RA's had the same rear set up and twin pots were fitted to the newage WRX's (I Think!) which might also fit But, check with the likes of japperformance parts or API, just to be sure.

I don't want to get your hopes up too high.

But I DO know that the RA WAS the same drivetrain/brakes as the R.

And I know that 2001/2 WRX had the same rear callipers. Whether they fit???
But the guys that build and break these cars WILL know if such a conversion has been done.

the o2 wrx hasn't the fatter driveshafts..

if you have r160 diff and skinny driveshafts your looking for 00-04 new age wrx rear hubs to fit twin pots to..

or if r180 with fat driveshafts your looking hubs from 97-00 type r or 98-00 sti ra 4 door
