2 Pot Rear Callipers BH5


Recommended Posts

I've seen this mod covered a few times now, so thought I would document it as I go for hits and giggles. To fit 2 pot rear callipers to a BE/BH you'll need either S401 Legacy backing plates or some Kartboy adaptors:

For some reason I've ended up with two sets of 2 pots, so painted the black set red for a colour comparison OEM red/VHT real red SP731 calliper paint:

Spent about an hour prepping each calliper, sanding with 180 grit wet and dry. Then using a small die bit in the dremel for the hard to reach spots. Then cleaned up with wax and grease remover, taped up ready for paint:

Two thin coats, then one final medium coat. Then oven baked for 1 hour at 93c to cure the paint (as per can instructions). Cooled down and masking tape removed, here's the colour difference:

All parts cleaned, polished and reassembled:

Then the finishing touch, high temp vinyl decals from ebay:

Hopefully there's some fine weather this weekend and I can get them on and throw some more pics up.

ooh; a second set of 2- pots... ; I dont like that I promised myself I wouldn't mod the wrx 'til it's paid off haha!

Good to see the pic-heavy write-ups are back.

Love your detail bro!

There'll be more around when the time is right. Has been a while since I did one, but cheers man. :)

When every gram counts. The single pot sliders weigh 3.23kg each, the STI 2 pots are 1.84kg each:

Got the part number for the backing plates? Well done btw.

Thanks. Nah sorry I don't. I thought I had found them in this thread:http://clubsub.org.nz/forum/showthread.php?44515-R160-2-pot-calliper-backing-plates-GreymouthBut they are for a GDA, maybe GC/GF.

Here's a pic of the new plates (top left), OEM BH (top right) and GDA/GC/GF 2 pot(bottom). Different size hub centre, park brake pad mounts and wheel speed sensor location:

No problems this time round, but I greased everything really well last time it was apart. The first time they came apart to do the wheel bearings I had major headache.

Even with this beast the axles wouldn't budge, outer splines completely seized into the hub:

Ended up having to remove the trailing arms/axles complete:

Then use a 20t press to remove the axles:

That's what I think the bottom pictured plate is off. Which means they wont fit on a BH/BE. You should be able to tell with just the handbrake assembly off.

Here's the difference between the plates/hub sizes and bolt spacing, hub bearing is BE/BH:

I've got the 2pot brembo callipers already, I've got backing plates that come off a v7 wrx which ran the 2pot rear callipers. Are ya saying these backing plates won't work? I'm sure ive read places that this is what people do? Will be ripped if they no good.

This is what I have to play with anyways.

      Afternoon team,
      im new to the group first time posting. Im hoping some body can help me get my launch control all dialled in on my link g4x. Ive had the computer and car all tuned from chris at prestige awesome knowlegable guy super happy with the results but now im wanting to get my launch/anti lag all dialled in. Ive been reading multiple different forums etc all with different conflicking information which has made me nervious with what do i listen to this or that if you get what i mean. Now ive started to make myself familiar with my PClink software etc the past few weeks and im eager to learn how to do minor setups or tweaks etc so im not relieing on my tuner so much and obviously saving myself abit hurt in the back pocket. 
      Now back to the question at hand.... Im wondering if theres and one who could please share there knowledge and wisdom with setting all my values, timing, fuel etc when i have launch control armed and engaged, or even a launch tune file they can possibly send me to load onto my tune. Ive figured out the setup of my digital inputs turning launch control on etc and its obvisously on its pre set factory settings. It engages but doesnt sound the greatest or as angry as it should i feel. Hence reaching out to you good buggers. 
       
      Cheers in advance for any info and help yous maybe able to give me.
       
      Cheers Shaun
