Default What Size Brake Discs Needed For 4 Pot Front Caliper Upgrade On Bugeye

I just bought some cheap 4 pot front calipers for my wrx bugeye (2000 jdm) 2+1 pot standard calipers currently fitted. Will my original brake discs work with these 4 pots - are my original brake discs 294mm?

cheers, i just really needed to be 100% sure the 4 pots will fit straight onto my standard discs as i wasnt sure if they were 294mm discs.

nah mine definately doesnt have the 4/2 pots, its only 2002 (REV C) & newer jdm models that have the 4/2 pot setup.

see here - Subaru Impreza WRX - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Japan-Spec

[edit] Rev. A (2000)

August 2000 brings the 2001MY WRX NB sedan. It has an EJ205 with AVCS coupled with an MHI TD04L turbocharger. The engine produces 250 PS (184 kW) at 6000 rpm with 34 kg·m (333 N·m) at 3600 rpm. The wheels are 16-inch (410 mm) in diameter. The car uses 2 pot/1 pot front and rear brakes. The front brake rotors are ventilated while the rear are solid disks. It has a torsen rear LSD and a 4.44 final drive ratio. The transmission has close-ratio gears unique to Subaru of Japan at that point in time. The car has a curb weight of 1340 kg (2954 lb).

[edit] Rev. B (2001)

The 2002MY WRX NB sedan debuts on September 2001. The mechanical specifications are similar to the previous year's model but the curb weight has been increased to 1350 kg (2976 lb).

[edit] Rev. C (2002)

The WRX NB-R sedan is released on November 2002. The power and torque ratings are the same as the previous year. The wheel diameters are increased to 17" in size. The rear brake rotor is changed to a ventilated disk, leaving the car to use only ventilated disks for braking. The car has 4 pot/2 pot front and rear brakes. The rear wing is on wing risers. The car now weighs 1361 kg (3000 lb).

Yes some of the import bugeye's did have the 2 pot calipers fitted as standard on the front , yes the hubs are the same fitment for brakes , so the subaru 4 pots will fit straight on , you will need the 294mm discs to go with them , they will not fit on your standard 277mm discs.
I can supply you grooved 294mm discs for £104 delivered next day

Ian will take his back if they don't fit, and gives a gaurantee on his discs against warping.

He is also a mine of info, all free.
