brembo 4 pots on bc5

[Guest]

hi there guys ive got the oppurtunity to grab some brembo 4 pots. just the fronts atm for an okaayish price.

now from what i can put together with all this brake upgrading and hub business is that these brembos should bolt straight onto my original hubs.

if thats the case i was thinking of upgrading my brake cylinder too but my issue is that my rs is non abs and to find a brake cylinder thats non abs from later models seems slim.

i know the RAs dont have abs so now my question is that is my brake cylinder the same size as the RA one or is it smaller? and would it feel weird with 4 pots in the front?

Some wrx came 4 pot front 1 pot rear by memory so no funny business but brembos are 30mmish bigger in rotor so unsure on that. I think theres 15/16" and 1" options and possibly 1 1/16". Guessing the bigger is for 4 pots?

brakes are coming with rotors and pads so thats no an issue

Not what I was getting at bro. Some wrxs already run 4 post front and 1 pot rear from factory. So they dont act funny with braking proportions but brembo rotor being bigger would give better braking so unsure if it would cause imbalance. Most of the braking happens in the front though.

yea lol i read it again after i posted... whoops! im guessing those wrxs wouldve had abs though :-/ version 3 onwards. the only next thing i can think of is v3 STI RA with big brakes and no abs.

anyone know if GDB spec C come with abs?

Mates v3 sti ra has no abs and 4/1. Another mates is common GF v3 sti with 4/1 and abs.

I\'ve got brembos on fronts and single sliding rear, no issues at all, however my rear discs are 290mm!

didnt need to change cylinder, but im running abs standard!

Tarmac V7 Spec C had ABS and Brembos, Gravel has no ABS and 4pot/2pots.

Just get adaptors made up and done

[funkytown]

adapters for what exactly?

/jumping into thread late..

if you you mean for the rears, brembo rears and 2 pot rears share the same mount.

if you mean the BC5 - it needs adapters to accept rears - else find V7/8 WRX hubs. will direct bolt up and you can use all your r160 BC5 rear end etc. Two options to chose.

[DacerX]

Adaptors for what you just mentioned

if you only want to do front conversion, it\'s bolt straight on, no matter no have ABS or not,doesn\'t need any modification, also your master cyclinder is also fine to opreate brembo 4 pot.
