Default Rear Calipers

Hi

Does anyone know which rear calipers bolt on to the Type R rear hubs, is it only the Type R rear 2 pots (are these different??), and not any of the other 2 pot setups or is it any of them?

Thanks
Jon

The type R calipers are the same as 2001 onwards WRX calipers , you can also fit the STi brembo 2 pots with the 316mm discs straight on.

Sorry to drag this back up but would 2006 STi Brembo calipers fit on the rear? is it just a case of buying the correct size disc 316mm and then any year caliper will fit?

Thanks again

As long as it is a Type R that has the subaru 2 pot calipers fitted as standard , then the brembo discs and calipers will fit straight on , although the discs on a MY05 onwards STi had a different PCD on the discs , so you would have to re-drill them.

There are some early type R's that had 290mm rear discs but with single piston rear calipers , the Subaru or Brembo 2 pot calipers will not fit on these early rear hubs

Cheers Ian
