Question

I have a 94WRX and following a few engine mods I feel the need to uprate the brakes (currently running 2 pots at the mo). Does anyone know if I could fit a set of standard 22B discs and calipers etc????

Any advice appreciated.

John

Hiya mate. My 22B 4 pots went onto an older WRX when I got rid of them a few months ago. So fitting to the car will be fine. But....you have to make sure your wheels will clear them. You have some 17" wheels but to make sure offset is ok I suggest you find a local owner, or pop into scoobysport and try your wheel onto some MY99 owners car.
Whilst you are fitting the brakes I'd suggest you ditch the standard discs and put some upgraded ones on, oh, and whilst you're at it get some braided hoses and DOT4.0 or 5.1 fluid, oh and pagid Blues.
Hehehe - straight answer in summary is they will fit, but check your wheels will clear.

22b's use standard 4 pot calipers painted red.
Don't waste your money on over priced calipers.buy cheap 2nd-hand pair in the private forum & buy some new disks & pads(safest option)IMHO.Thats what I did for my 94 WRX.
