Default Brake upgrade

I had 4 pots put on my last my94wrx and my type ra (my93) has the awful 2 pots. i've got a set of facelift 16" wheels so I know that the subaru 4 pots will fit under them but I was wondering if there are any alternatives that are better for similar money?

Cheers,

Matt.

I'll think you will find it hard to get a better brake ugrade for how cheaply you can get 4pots done but you could try
4 Pot Conversions

Not similar money unfortunately

price isn;t too bad. that's pretty much what i paid last time for my 4 pot setup by the time i added decent pads, discs and braided lines.

i was just thinking about getting some ap 4 pots for a different make of car and getting some brackets made up. i guess it's the thickness of the disc that will limit me in this way.

anyone know the thickness of a standard disc to fit 4 pots?

I'm sure the thicker discs for OE 4 pots from Godspeed use spacers so they fit. If that helps..Not sure of the standard thickness though.

I'm sure someone once fitted AP 4 pots from a TVR . Not sure though.. lol
