was flickin through spring 2005 issue of 'fast car' yeah nice ha ha,but saw 1 interesting article on page 86.

its a classic face lift wrx with 300zx tt calipers and i presume discs,now i got thinkin as a friend has just wrote 1 off and i can have his brakes?

does anyone know how hard it will be to do the conversion,or better have you done it and could give me a few pointers please

mine is a 96wrx pre face lift model with no abs and the crappy single pot calipers on so an upgrade is in desperate need???

99% sure it's exactly the same caliper.... not sure about the discs though....

awd wrx

the calipers have different lug spacings , they dont fit directly on , you would need a bracket

EBC ceramic redstuff pads are same fitment for both cars so thet can't be that different..

awd wrx

the shape of the calipers are the same , but the lugs have different spacings , the pads are the same , been there and tried it..

avalaugh

been there n tried it? does that mean its not worth the agro?

awd wrx

no its not that difficult , you need to make a bracket to fit them , they dont fit straight on

avalaugh

just to make it all clear for simple old me ?

im gonna take it to a specialist,but all he will need to do is make up a bracket,

then i can use 300zx discs+pads with the hoses(braided) from the subaru i already have???

hope thats correct,if not please explain it to me as if im a child ha ha

thanks to all involved

awd wrx

no the discs wont fit , you will need 294mm subaru discs , the calipers then need a breacket making as the holes on the calipers dont line up with the holes on the strut

excellant , thankyou very much for your help i will sort it out
