thanks

That's a question I never found out for sure while doing the GB a while back... you may get help with an answer on NASIOC as they are running quite a few set ups over there.
I don't know anyone local with AP's or I would try one of mine on for size.

 

right... but if they can clear brembos.. then should clear APs right??

 

I would be inclined to say yes if pushed.... but quite a gamble to bet on.

 

right... from what i saw the 6pots are about the same thick but bigger due to 6pots.... so it might?

but will the PFF7s replicas clear then? as i have seen loads with PFF7s + APs

thanks
kevin

 

There's two types of AP 6 pot calipers, CP7040 and CP5570's. There's three sizes of discs used, 330mm with the CP5570 kit and either 355mm or 362mm with the CP7040 calipers. All with have different wheel clearances. Details are at AP Racing. Then go Brake Kit Selection - Subaru - Impreza to 2004 for the CP5570 kit and to 2006 for the CP7040 kits.

I've got the CP5570 kit and it fits the 18" PFF7 with loads of space, but as it's intended for use with 17" wheels this is hardly surprising. AP website says the CP7040 kit with 355mm disc will work with "8J x 18" After Market or OZ Superleggera ET 35", can you work anything out useful form that? The 362mm discs are intended for use with 19".

So I'd say the CP5570 kit would fit without question, the CP7040 kit with 355mm discs may or may not and the CP7040 kit with 362mm probably won't. But why speculate? Download the appropriate .pdf stencil from AP's website, print it out, cut it out, try it inside the wheel, if the paper profile fits inside the wheel then the wheel will fit over the brakes. May seem a bit Blue Peter but it's simple and foolproof and saves all the endless will it fit won't it questions.

 

thanks for that info..!!!

is there other wheels that you know will fit over the 355mm??
