4 piston caallipers for BE5 RSK

[Guest]

Would THESE fit my B4?

I really believe the RSK should have come with bigger brakes...I mean its 1450odd kg & capable of some speed when wound out and the stock twin pots just don't feel up to it even with upgraded pads. I know I could go to more aggressive pads than Bendix Ultimates and fit better rotors but big is good right

[Guest]

Yep.

Good deal too, those calipers are $2000+ each Ex Japan now.

Factory master cylinder be sweet?

Are they are the same as non Brembo STi ones?

They would look the biz especially with the bigger diameter rotors behind factory RSK 17's.

They will fit no problems. Only thing to look for is not all wheels clear them. Although if you have factory split spoke 17"s they will clear. Also very easy to install and a very good price.

[Guest]

Wicked. Thank you Now to convince the 'better half' they are necessary ???

Ahhh. the joys of SUBARU front macpherson strut so compatible with most models.. better stopping power is always better mate! whilst you at it.. you should get some slotted rotors to complement the 4pots if ya gonna get them 8)

Ive done a couple upgrades on both the wrx and gtb. Both very very worth it. Knocked 3 secs off the laptimes at Teretonga. Direct swap. Get some good pads and youll never go back to 2pots. The Brembos are really remade STIs. If you have a later model rsk the brake cylinder is the same as an sti anyway.

[Guest]

Yip bolt straight on ive just done the same to my BG5 legacy as long as you have the 17inch split spoke mags.

Yip I have the split spoke 17" wheels

47P offset on 17 will clear the caliper bigtime, I would get the rotors machined, to be safe, prevent warping if your not buying new rotors.

GOOD MOD to do, mean stopping ability too.

If you read the auction the disc's have already been machined.

my bad ..... need to clean the monitor...

"Front rotors have been skimmed"

Still safer to be sure, does not cost that much.. is skimmed the same as machined... I learn something everyday.. the world is kind

I went from Standy fluid to the RBF600 and massive difference! Especially after the track day. Im still on the same fluid and had no brake probs since. I did use like a litre of it draining the whole system. Youd be amazed how much crap comes out when you just keep bleeding the rear left a!

I use a whole 500ml bottle just on that one calliper, lol! I'm on the step down MOTUL 5.1. Its ok, not as good as ELF HTX115 but of course the Castrol SRF & MOTUL RBF 600 are tops.

What pads are people using on the factory 2 pots and STi 4 pots at track days? I used Bendix Ultimates for the first time last month due to being late to order...they were ok, not the last work in stopping power or fade resistance but ok.

[Swindog]

Ferodo Excels mate cheap and work just as well as ultimates!
