hi, ive just bought some 2 pot rears for my 95 jap wrx. i know i need brackets , got them sorted i think!. im curious about the disk though, whats the diameter? and will i have any issues with the handbrake shoe set up, will it fit inside the new disk? any help would be much appreciated!!

If they're the Subaru branded 2-pots, they should still use the 266mm vented discs that most later classics used.

They handbrake remains 170mm, as per most classics.

Pretty sure this is right. Feel free to flame me if proved otherwise

I thought the two pot rears used 290mm discs??!!

wez wrx

had a hunt around the net and there 290mm vented. as far as i can make out
the only car pre 99 to have them had the 180 diff?!? and they had a 190mm handbrake?!? thanks for the replys!!

2 pot cars all use a 290mm discs.................

as above classic cars are generally "type-R's" and have a 190mm h/brake, new-age cars use a similiar set-up but with a 170mm h/brake.........

Can't remember where I saw it, but someone was running standard 266mm vented rear discs, 170mm h-brake, 2-pots and appropriate brackets/adapters.

My reply probably didn't really put across what I meant, sorry for the confusion.

The ideal setup would be 290mm discs with 170mm h-brake, appropriate bracket to match the 2-pots to the smaller mounts on the classic (non Type-R) backplates.

I run 2 pot rears on my MY98 WRX.

I use 290mm new age discs with the original 170mm hand brake. The brackets were from Dyney if anyone needs them.

The brackets definately will NOT allow the use of the 266mm discs.
