MY 99 Rear shoes and discs onto a MY98 ?
I have an MY99 Classic with Brembos fitted - direct fit and no adapter required. I want to put the Brembos on an MY98 so will need the adapter and larger shoes sold by Godspeed.
Just wondering if I can take the shoes and the back plate they are fitted to, from the MY99 and fit onto the MY98 - plus the larger disc of course. If so, can I keep the existing central hub with wheel studs in place ?.
Thanks for advice.

If you have them fitted straight on with no brackets , you must have the larger 180 STI or Type R axle fitted , you cannot fit the handbrake shoes from the 180 axle to fit on the smaller 160 axle , if you could I wouldn't have had to come up with the idea of the specially made thicker handbrake shoes.
You will need the mounting bracket kit and thicker shoes to fit them on , or the mounting bracket kit and the discs we now do with the steel inserts to reduce the handbrake size so you can retain the standard sized shoes

I assumed you would not be selling the brackets just for fun, but wanted to fully understand my options as I have both cars/axles to hand.
Thanks,
Keith.
