My car is a 99 Wrx version 5 with the 2-pot calipers up front. I am planning to change to 4-pot sometime shortly, but I am unsure what brake components I will need to carry out that conversion. Do I just need the calipers and the pads, or is it that I also need discs, bells, brake lines etc? Also, does it really worth the hassle?

MERRY XMAS guys.

You'll need the following:
- 4 pot calipers
- pads (if not already in calipers)
- Discs
- Brake Fluid

Brake lines are fine, but you might want to upgrade to braided while youre at it. Conversion shouldn't take too long to do and well worth the effort.

Cheers,

Andy

PS... and a Happy New Year

If your car is a 99, I thought they had 4 pots already?

Or is that just the UKs?
