I want to fit some bigger brakes on my RB5 but fancy using the standard calipers, does anybody do a kit that uses a bigger rotor and a bracket to move the caliper out, but still fit in my standard 17" wheels.

Godspeed do a 17" upgrade that fits under those rims.

The provide spacers/brackets for the calipers new 335mm discs, alloy bells and pads.

There's not much info on upgrades for the Impreza on the site (if any), but there's plenty of info on here if you do a search.

Other options include simply replacing the discs and pads.

I've done exactly as Ozzy suggests on our RB5 using the godspeed kit fitted by Ian Godney.

Well pleased with it. If I could work out how to post pics I would put some up here but if you do a search for godspeed you will find plenty of pics to tempt you.
