Hi guys I've got ap 6pots up front so I'm upgrading the rear brakes on my 95sti ra.

What exactly do I need?
Disks
Calipers
Pads

Do I need brackets as shoes ?

If you could post links to the parts too, then great,

Cheers joe

Contact Ian at Godspeed, I'm sure he will have something.

Ian at godspeed sorted me out yet again, full bolt on kit, brackets, new disks and pads, refurbished calipers, painted to suit my ap's. not cheap but a far better option than buying a used set up for not much less.

I bet you could nearly flip it over with AP 6 pots on the front and standard ra rears

Haha, I'd imagine so mate. I haven't fitted the front Ap's for that very reason, the car is up on axel stands at the moment with no suspension components on it at all. I'm replacing and refreshing the lot. Really looking forward to getting the 6 pots on they should be a marked improvement over the standard ra stuff that said the standards were worn out too.

Thought about the brake bias mod? I've had my brake bias valve removed so that the rears do more work. The car now stops flatter and more planted.

Have you not got R/RA two pots on the back already.

I had AP 4pots on my TypeR and I found it quite well balanced on track.
But I think they were only 308mm though.

It was over ten years ago..

No mine had the single pot rears. I have thought about brake bias, obviously it's not something I'm going to be able to tackle until the car had been put though its paces.
Ian @godspeed said the rear brembos will work well with the ap's Ultimately I want 4 pot rears but that's just my OCD kicking in wanting matching calipers haha.

What's the bias mod Alcazar?
