Guys,
Will 4 pot brakes from the later WRX fit my MY96 WRX without any other changes? Do I have to fit the larger 290mm discs or will my 277mm discs be ok(I've just fitted a new set of 277mm discs and have now booked on a trackday) Any info gratefully recieved.
Ta.

I've been told they swap straight over but you will need the bigger discs and pads. I hope this info is correct as I'm trying to buy some 4 pots for my 93 WRX and have been told they will fit ok

Guys,

The 4 Pot Brake Kit will bolt srtaight onto the earlier cars, but you will also need to fit the 290mm discs.
The only other thing to be aware of is that if you still have the early 15" or 16" wheels fitted, then they will foul caliper.
You need wheels of at least 16" designed for a 98my (or later) UK car, or a Ver.IV/V Wrx.

Hope this helps
Phil
