Default 4 pots onto older car

I have a 93wrx and would like to increase the breaking capability, to that of at least a 1995 fiesta! lol

I would like to fit a set of newer 4 pots, is there any year that i need to get or will all 4pots from newer cars like 55 plates fit as well ?

Is it worth doing the rears to 2 pots as well?

And finally to those that have done the conversion is there much difference when fitted?

Cheers

Dave

All the 4 pots fit, they are the same caliper, just painted red on the later models

It is a good upgrade, and will fit, provided your wheels clear them (stock pre98 WRX wheels, the 15 inch ones DON't)

The rears can be swapped too, but I would at first do just the fronts, with good pads/discs and see if the change is enough already.

I did the swap, and it is a good bang for buck upgrade, if you aren't paying thru the nose for the kit,as then your getting into entry level BBK money.

Rears will need a bracket to fit.
