Hi all, i've got an 07 gb270 wagon so basically a wrx. A friend of mine is selling a full set of Brembos including disks from his 06 sti blobeye. I was just wondering if they are a direct bolt on for my car before i try to fit them?

The main things im bothered about are if the calipers bolt straight on, if i can keep the original brake lines, if they will fit under my wheels and if i can use the disks. Any help would be really appreciated

Not sure about the wheels but I expect you be fine. In terms of a straight swap,yes the calipers bolt straight up and use the existing brake lines but you'll need to either get 5x100 pcd discs or get the existing discs redrilled which is not expensive if you can find someone to do it, just done the same conversion on my bug WRX but with the right PCD discs - what wheels have you got?

The rears are different and will need a brake shoe conversion IIRC........

Yep, or Godspeed does a sleeved rear disc to work with the OE shoes

thanks for all the replies thats great help. the wheels are prodrive gb270 standard wheels. think they are the same as on the rb320 but not sureif they are a different offset

You will need the caliper bolts from the Brembo's as the thread pitch is different to the steel 4-pots

Thanks for the info mate that's worth knowing! I'm thinking £400 is t a bad price for all four callipers that are in good condition

If you can get all 4 calipers for that price you're doing well. I've seen them for sale for a lot more than that on ebay, full sets can be had with discs and pads for £650 on a good day

Pikey009

Thats with disks but they won't fit my car

If the discs are good get them re-drilled, a lot cheaper than buying new ones and it'll be an absolute steal at £400

Do you need different brackets to fit any of the calipers onto a WRX newage?

JonMc

iTrader: (51)

No mate, it's a straight swap except for the handbrake shoes, even the WRX brake lines are the same

Nice one thanks Jon. Got my eye on a coupe of sets so hopefully won't be too long til I get some and send the to Ryan for a spruce up

If you get them before Easter I'm heading off that way for a week, I could drop them when I go and pick them up on my way back

That would be great thanks mate. Will be in touch if I get some sorted.

the disks are a bit worn to be honest so i might be cheeky and try to get them abit cheeper without the discs

Whats involved in redrilling the discs to 100pcd and vice versa? Also can it be done to alloys?

JonMc

iTrader: (51)

Just clamp the discs in a vice and re-drill the holes - not a DIY job though as you'll want a pillar drill and some tooling to set the PCD correctly etc but your average machine shop will rattle it off in no time. In principle alloys can be done, but it will weaken them and I personally wouldn't touch that idea with a barge pole

Adam-M

Are the holes bored out or are another set bored just like multi fit alloys

JonMc

On the discs I've seen it's a second set of holes

Pikey009
