I've been offered a set of MY99(?)4 pot calipers, which I'm considering fitting to my '98 Terzo. Is it just a simple case of bolt them on with a hydraulic pipe y-piece adaptor, bleed the system & go (or hopefully stop!), or would there be any complications?

 

Simple swap as you have said. Obviously the MY98 doesnt come with 4 pots then?, how strange (and silly of Subaru)

hi
just bolt them on, hydraulic pipes fit straight on, i have done the same to my my97
mark

 

Doesn't he need to change the wheels, or will 4 pots fit the standard wheels?

 

Std 4 Pot brakes will fit the std 16inch wheel.

 

as long as they are the 16s from that MY, doesnt fit under a certain MY of earlier cars than MY98, cant remember which but has been posted elsewhere on this BBS

Thanks!

Not a problem with the wheels - they're 17's anyway!

 

Anyone know where I can get a set of 4 pots too ?

Thanks.

You still need to be careful that your wheels are going to fit, even though you have 17" rims.

It isn't the diameter of the rim that is important, it's the rim offset & the shape of the spokes.

If you try and use an approved rim designed for a pre 99my. vehicle, you will find that the spokes will foul the face of the caliper.

This is obviously the last item to be refitted so it's not a good time to find this out!

We have recently fitted a brake upgrade to a customers P1 and I know he is interested in selling his old 4 Pots, Pads & Discs.

If you would like to E-Mail me I will put you in contact with him.
Or you can ring me on (01227) 864537
