Would like to upgrade the brakes on my 95 uk turbo.
Will any 4 pots fit and is it worth doing the rears as well.
Any advice appreciated as i am new to Scoobys

 

Any Impreza 4 Pots will fit straight on. They normally go for around £200 used.

No real benefit in upgarding the rears unless you really feel the need to.

 

Aren't the discs bigger too, Bob? If you fit 4-pots, that is?

Second the comment on rears: don't bother unless it wants new discs and pads, then it might be worth doing it

Yes, you'll need 16" wheels min

 

This is correct you will need 294mm discs for four pots. Your car will have 275mm on at the moment. I'm trying to do this conversion at the moment but not having much luck getting my hands on some calipers.

really? i was under the impression that i would need to go to 17s minimum if i were to got to 4pots on my '97 wrx wagon?? Not bothered looking but thought 16" wheels were standard on a classic WRX and they would be too small what am i missing?

cheers, Ash

 

Ash, MY99 and '00 UK turbos had 4-pots with 16" wheels.

 

hi you'll get a set of recondition 4 pot calipers £80 each £10 postage from, PARTS R US, 0151 6472440,

 

You will only need 17inch wheels if you fit the four pots with the Godspeed 335mm brake conversion matey

Aaah ok cool, so i can keep the standard rims then?! Sweet I think i'll be able to lock down a good price for a refurb and new colour, so i'll be happy to keep just 16"s
