I am going to try and change brake shoes this weekend, but I am confused as to the correct part for my car.

I have been told there are two different sizes, could somebody please point me in the right direction?

Thanks

 

the new-age STi uses an R180 rear diff set-up that includes a 190mm handbrake assembly..............20mm larger than the more std WRX, classic type R160 rear

can easily sort if required

 

Have a look first to see if they need changing ,I wouldn't have thought they would need doing , as they are only a parking brake they only have 4mm of material on them when new

Thanks guys I will call in the morning, I think the shoes may be sticking, I have a mettalic sound (intermittent) under 10mph, comes and goes, sounds like when the pads need replacing.

 

have you tried adjusting the handbrake cable?
