Default advice from people who know what they are talking about

ok lads first off please bare with me and im gonna try and explaine this to the best of my knowledge.

very simply i have access to a full brake kit ie 6 pot fronts 2 pot rears discs and pads all brand new for an excellent price,they are tuv approved and are from a very well respected tuner for very very little money.

thing is they arnt for an impreza i dont want to say too much at the min but i need advice on what is needed ..is it just simply a bracket made up for the caliper to bolt to and then redrill the brake disc or isnt that going to work because its goning to cause a futher space between the caliper and the disc?

i dont wanna take them just yet and try them becasue if i do then they are min and i dont have money to just throw about. any info you have would be great and if this does work it could open up a cheap upgrade for people thats great quality

the more info i have the quicker i can get to work on it and seeif this is going tobe an option for some of us who dont have 2k to get decent brakes

many thanks rab

p.s this may all just be a waste of time do dont get your hopes up

Sell them to a (Nissan ?) owner and buy second hand Impreza bits, less aggro and expense overall...

would think new brackets and bells as a minimum, but due to Impreza having drums inside the discs on the back would not be a cheap option, maybe best get the caliper model numbers and get in touch with Godspeed for a price before making mind up. Or if cheap buy them and sell them off at a profit to someone with the correct car then get correct stuff.
