Classic and Brembo's - Uprate Master Cylinder?
I know a lot of people put Newage STi Brembo's on their Classics, mostly front's, like me. But i've only really seen it mentioned a couple of times about using the STi Master Cylinder and Servo when going Brembo's alround.
My Servo looks pretty rusty on one side, so I'd want to replace it anyway in case its too far gone.
It would make sense. If you are having effectively the whole STi brake setup.
But can anyone tell me more about the technical reasons behind needing it, and is there much effort needed to fit it?
thanks

same question here. Mine's a non abs 1996 WRX which had pot fronts and slider rears. I read around about changing the servo and brake master cylinder, but most other cars are ABS. Are there more hoses and in a different place? what do you also do about the difference in the wiring for the level sensor etc.

Fitting front only Brembo's will upset the brake bias and is not 100% ideal
Other thing to watch out for is pad knock. You may even have to a double tap of the brake pedal before entering a turn to get the pedal up. If your bearings/hubs are good you won't really get it, but if there is any play at all you'll experience it. One thing you can do before installing the Brembos is rebuild them and install anti knockback springs into the pistons. You'll get a firm pedal every time with those.
