As you know, I've been thinking about better brakes for the black beast. As I'm getting it serviced within the next month, I might need new pads and brakes.

Now, onto the question.

Will the four pots from a 98 STi 4 fit onto my MY94 WRX Wagon?

does 300quid sound reasonable for them (15k miles, + discs n pads?)

Question

They should fit, although I'm not sure if you're getting a bargain.

I've seen new ones go for around £400, nearly new ones (4/5000 miles) for £325-350.

I guess you pays your money and takes your choice!

If that's the going rate, that's £300 towards my Alcons!!!

Markus, you will need the 16 inch wheels for these to clear.

Thanks guys. The 4-pots in question are in the 'for sale' section (Markie J is selling them) he said he's open to offers.

Danny,
Thanks, should not be a problem as the speedlines are 16 inchers, plus James Bushell has the same wheels, and had Sti pots as well, and they seemed to fit and perform well.

this bbs just gets better and better.

Think I might wait and see if the beast does need new pads n discs though. My lack of feel could be due to naff brakes and pads

Lack of feel could also be due to the fluid being shagged and or the pipes.

Being an import you dont know how long the car sat not being used.

My brakes were horrid, when it was serviced the changed the fluid and the brakes are lots & lots better still not as good as 4 pot racing brakes though !!
