Upgrade question
Hi everybody,
I am in the middle of rebuilding my car and this time I am upgrading my brakes. Having 9.5" wide grids with standard uk turbo brakes looks a bit silly.
So I want to upgrade to the Subaru 4 pot Brake calipers at the front and the 2 pots at the rear including disc's. I have seen some of an 02 Bugeye.
So what do I need and need to know? most of my confusion center's on the rears with my standard brakes having in bored hand brake shoes.
Do the 2 pots still require the in bored hand brake shoes or does the hand brake work of the caliper instead of a drum?
Please any and all information is required.
Thank you in advance.

fronts bolt straight on as a "set"..........
rears will work fairly easily if you again fit as a "set" off the donor car BUT you will need an adaptor bracket to match the 2pot mounts to the original sliding caliper backing plate
all TURBO's use an in-drum handbrake
