I have just upgraded my brakes on my MY96WRX by fitting a set of disks and calipers from a P1,Im getting the pads tomorrow and i wondered if there is any thing i need to know about bleeding the system or is it straight forward.
Thank you

 

I have just changed by discs, pads and hoses. Bleeding the system was straightforward, you just need a mate to help! I always bleed the wheel furthest from the master cylinder first, and work towards the nearest one. Not sure if it makes much difference, but it was recommended to me some years ago, and has always worked for me.

Always make sure that you keep the master cylinder reservoir topped up between completing each wheel, otherwise you might get an airlock in the system, and have to start again.

cheers,i was hoping it was just a standard bleeding procedure.Just having read a number of threads on brakes it left me unsure,there are so many conflicting reports.A few of the reports suggested to start bleeding from nearest the master cylinder which goes against my understanding.
Dont suppose you know if there was any difference between the P1 calliper and the MY99 one

 

P1 caliper's and my99 ones are the same.
As for the bleding, you're supposed to do them one at a time, but say, nsr, then osf, then osr, then nsf.
They work in pairs diagonaly, so it's best if you bleed them in pairs, sort of.
I hope you got that!!

 

Nice 1 Cheers
