Default Handbrake Shoes 2 pots Classic.

So I just fitted newage 2 posts to my 95 classic. I thought the handbrake shoes would be the same size after doing some searching about but after adjusting them right out I have no handbrake at all.

So was I supposed to get different shoes? If so anyone know the part number?

They look like Subaru 2pots think you would get away with different discs with the 170mm handbrake drum. What size is your disc.

You have type R discs not 2001 onwards WRX , thats why they don't fit , the cheapest route is change the discs

as mentioned above the Type-R (and V3-6 STi RA) uses a 190mm handbrake drum the same as the new-age STi whereas you require the WRX spec 170mm h/brake

both discs are 290mm vented
