Default V3 type R rear brembo conversion

Hi all,

looking for some advice in regards to converting to brembo's on the back of my v3 type r, is it as simple as getting the backing plates, calipers, discs and pads etc? Or is it more in depth. Car runs a 6 speed with R180 rear diff, if that makes a difference?

If it's still running the v3 rear hubs far far easier to get v4-v6 hubs and bolt them on job done. Don't mess about with v3 hubs for they will torture you

so that would be the rear hubs or plates off of a 4/5/6, plus the 2 pot calipers? Can get the backing plates off of Import Car Parts, but finding the rear calipers seems to be a pain in the bum. Appreciate the reply Joe!

Just get the whole rear hubs you'll have to do away with the stone guards anyway as the discs will be bigger if your going for brembos 316mm if I remember right. They come on newage sti's up until 04 I think 100 pcd not 114.3 I have I think some Subaru two pots if there any use to you.
