Default Brembos on a V5 Classic

Hi

After reading many posts I understood that Newage 03 Sti Brembo Calipers were a direct fit with suitable discs for a Classic Impreza Pot 4.

I have recieved the Brembo calipers and discs, but after a quick look the mounting holes look like they are a different spacing.

Can someone confirm they are a direct fit and should just bolt on.

Many Thanks

Ben

I Have new age sti Brembos on mine which were a direct fit on the front, the rears need a bracket though, Ian Godney or ebay is your best bet.
I had to upgrade to 18's though to clear the caliper.

Cheers Mate

I only have fronts, so fingers crossed all is good.

Were you able to use the same bolts that were on your standard 4 pots?

hi i've just fitted brembo's to my version 4, the bolts are not long enough if you are trying to use the 4 pot ones. other than that they bolt straight on (you will notice a big difference). i run sti version 8 17" alloys on mine.

Im running the same wheels as you, where did you manage to get the longer bolts from.

Thanks Ben
