BP/BL Brembos

[BP5Nut]

Got a couple of questions re brembos on the BP/BL legacy\'s;

Does anyone know if they fit under the standard 18" 10-spoke alloys for the pre-facelift Spec B\'s without spacers? I didn\'t think they did until I saw this:

(Nice looking car that)

Also, would the factory brembo kit require cert if fitted to one that originally came with the standard 2-pots? The kit is designed for the car and doesn\'t require brackets etc, so thinking probably not. (Realise this would probably be better in the legal forum but didn\'t want to start two threads).

fronts fit but rears require adaptors. The only model that would bolt on with be the STI models that have them on from factory which are rare. As we as adaptors you would have to have a modified hand brake shoee. I used to have this setup on my BLE but have gone back to factory setup as i wasnt using all the stopping power of the brakes.

And no they wont clear without spacers. only ones that will is V7 rims and the 8 spoke STI rims and lots of aftermarket.

I say they look cool but unless you really need to stop then get some good pads

Cheers. I had thought that perhaps the factory kit would bolt up without adapters etc (or include required modified parts to render them unnecessary) but obviously not.

I\'ve had this kit on my wishlist for a while now: (just need a lucky lotto ticket)

Yeh, the standard 2-pots on the spec b\'s pull it up pretty darn quickly if you really stand on them - the just don\'t have quite the \'visual\' stopping power of the brembo\'s

Did your BLE need LVV cert for them? (also do you still have them/are they for sale?)

Yes you technically need lvv Cert but many get away with it. Dacer doesn\'t have the brakes but I know of another set that will bolt on to your bp/bl including adaptors.

Also, why do you need the brembos?

I put new discs, fluid and aggressive street pads in my BL and could do ~6 laps of Taupo with no issues.

[DacerX]

because you need the bling ;D and also they stop way more than anything else

[GorGasmSpecB]

True, flash is good but fast is better

[BP5Nut]

Yeh don\'t have any real reason to go to the brembos apart from the awesome factor.

Unfortunately anything that gets anywhere near needing LVV cert puts it out of the picture - it\'s expensive enough as it is getting full insurance on one of these for a 22y/o male

Thanks for the info though - might be something to revisit when 25.

Wouldn\'t mind a tuned by STI one day, so it comes with all those goodies and don\'t have to worry about insurance/cert
