Question

So who knows then.

Will the standard Scooby 4 pots off an MY00 fit direct to my MY98 in place of the 2 pots.

Also will these fit under Speedline Chrono 17" wheels OK ?

Yeah, was fairly sure the brakes would just go straight on, but I'm unsure about clearance to the wheels, as I've heard stories about these particular make/model to do with clearance. As they came on the car though I had no particular choice.

DNB - how big spacers did you have to use ? Did you notice any problems from fitting them, and where did you get them from and how much ?

Question

OK you guys... A further bit of info.

To check the spacer theory before getting the brakes, I tried ny wheels on RiSKy's 94 WRX import. He runs the 4 pots, and with his wheels he needed 3mm spacers to get the clearance. Now, put my Chrono wheels on, and even with the spacers, the 4 pots were still rubbing the back of the wheel.

Will the offset/mount of a 94WRX be the same as my UK98, in which case we're talking major spacers or new wheels or is it different ?

Anyone ?
