Hi Guys,

Any help appreciated, I've just purchased a set of Sti brembo brakes from a 2008 Subaru sti.

Front 330mm 4 pot and 315mm rear 2 pot

I understand the front should be a straight swap but I’m struggling to find a bracket to fit the rear ones - can anyone advise where to go?

I tried God Speed but they don’t have a kit for this conversion.

May Thanks

Lj

Just a thought but didn't they change the PCD on later STi's to 5x114.3.

Your will be 5x100 so you'll need the hubs as well to mount the disc pattern or find some 5x100 Discs

As above.... it's not a straight bolt on job

The fronts will fit fine, but need the discs re-drilled to 5x100 PDC. The rears will fit with a custom bracket. The Godspeed kit is fine for the shoes and spacers but the bracket needs to be 14x14 rather than 14x11.3 which is the mounting distance for the old gold calipers.

Use this as a template to get the 14x14 made up and then either purchase or source the remaining parts that make up the Godspeed rear brembo conversion kit for classics. I have done the fronts but not yet finished the rears as I have a gold set on for now

Thats spot on mate many thanks! Iv had the Disk re-drilled ready to go, fingers crossed should be all good for the weekend!

Does anyone have the 14x14 Template, spoke to Godspeed and apparently the one above is for the brembo one? Just saves me having to ship a calliper there to get it done as you can’t just modify this drawing as the lugs could be shorter as well as further apart?!?!

There isn't one mate, I haven't got round to doing the measurements yet but as far as I could see when the golds went on its only the caliper mount distance that needs changing. I will check the bolts later

Hi
Its not as easy as just changing the bolt spacings to suit the new calipers , as the gold caliper lugs are closer together , they sit in the middle of the holes in the back plate , if you see the spacers we supply , they have a piece machined out to give clearance for the back plate , I think it could be a problem fitting the later black calipers , it will make this even tighter as the lugs will be even closer.

If someone wants to send me one rear caliper , I can tell you if it going to work or not straight away

Hi Ian as you would expect when we lined them up there was enough clearance fitting bracket to the back plate at 14cms. At the top where the bracket fits to the caliper it did look tight but its not too much bother to trim a few mm off the top backing plate if necessary. The bolt cleared fine its whether the spacer fits without a slight dremel action when everything else is tightened.

If you want to make up a 14x14 prototype I will gladly do an installation guide all rights Godspeed Brakes

yes I will make brackets if it can be done , all I need is one caliper to work it out
