if I had chance/want to go 4 pots I would do so too

Durrrr.... what a boy racer! har har

Seriously, big brakes look cool. They're like the one 'cosmetic' mod I'd consider doing to my B4.

You are right man, those 5 spoke GTB wheels wont fit 4pots (i have the same wheels and have recently acquired 4pots). Just think of it as a chance to upgrade your rims

Go Brembos !

Get the yellow ones and you can pretend to have Brembos and ceramics !

Win ! Win !

covered many times, the split spoke ones clear, as do the solid ones from rev d. the early BG solid 5 spokes dont.

Have decided to go for some GTB 2 pots first to see how they go. Will prob be getting some new rotors from BNT or Repco

Can someone recommend me some decent pads and brake fluid?

[nztintin]

use the search, plenty of info about pads and fluid

[Flat4]

Yeah all sorted thanks, looks like I'll be getting Bendix Ultimates and Motul RBF600 or RBF660

Would 4 Pot and and two pot brakes off of a STi Ra fit a WRX Ra?

[funkytown]

the fronts will, and it depends if the rear end of the WRX RA is r160 (then no) or r180 (then yes)

[Sequence]

Sweet thanks

What would I need to get STi 2 Pot brakes to fit the rear? If I have a r180 will they just bolt straight on? Not sure how to tell, any help? And you say that the STi 4 Pot brakes will bolt straight on to the front?

Cheers

[igkgunn]

4 pots bolt straight up to front, 2 pot rears need different hubs. you can use v4 sti ra rear hubs if you have a r180 diff (should say on the diff, or alternatively search your transmission code), or you can run v7/8 NON-sti WRX rear hubs for a r160 diff

EDIT: both 4 pots and 2 pot rears use different rotors and pads to standar 2pot fronts and single pot rears so you will need to buy ones to suit
