Question
After upgrading the fronts of my MY98 to 4Pots with Group N discs and Ferrodo 2500 pads, adding Braided hoses all round and doing the DOT 5.1 thing. What about the rears???

At the mo they are totally standard. Do they need doing or not. The pads and discs are fine.

Any ideas??

Cheers

Grahame Goode do a kit for the rears to convert them to "floating calipers" which they say are on the STi's. Don't know if they're worth having though............anybody out there done it?

They'll be fine std, just uprate them as they wear out (unless your loaded!!)

They don't fit and the general thinking is it would upset the brake balence of the car. Not worth the trouble!!
