Brembo swap

Recommended Posts

Hi,

 

Hopefully someone can shed me some light regarding this issue. So i have a sti v11(a-line) and just got a good deal on these brembos(came off the same version) Long story short it wont fit not because its not going into the bolts but because of the thickness of the calipers’s bracket comparing to my stock one.
 

So it does just pretty much cant go bolt in as its too thick. 

thank you for any help or info.

Hi boon,

 

thank you for the responses, please forgive me as im a newb and not sure with parts name etc. 

 

So without the rotors the brembos perfectly bolt in. But when the rotors are IN that piece which is encircled wont go in as its to thick comparing to the stock one. Im not sure with the difference between the backing plates but as per videos that i have seen on youtube.. it was just pretty much straightforward taking out and putting in new caliper To a “WRX” v11, which i would say has the same set up as mine.

Did you not get the matching discs?

 

I’m assuming you are swapping fronts only as brembo brakes have a handbrake drum setup at the rear. 


 

hi grip.

 

yep just the front and i do have the discs that came with the brembos.

 

Tried my stock and the discs came with it . Same issue even it has the same size pattern and bolt pattern

You may have some rear discs.

look inside them for scuff marks from the handbrake drum pads. 

Thanks grip. I think it might have been a rear disc, what should be the size of the front disc? So would you say i need to get another set of front disc?

Does the A-Line use 5x100 or 5x114 wheel bolt spacing? I've got a set of old 5x100 ones in TGA that I could possibly get to Rotorua reasonably quickly as we're doing heaps of work over there right now.

 

A-line is 5x114

Hi andy mac, 

 

its 5x114 unfortunately.

Hi grip,

 

i was measuring my stock ones and they are similar on size and same (5x114) however my rear disc seems to be bit smaller than the front so the disc that i got with the brembos are more likely for fronts

The rears are always super obvious as they have a big diameter drum section that pokes out the front where as the fronts have a much smaller dome that isn't much larger than the studs

 

Anything less than 330mm diameter won't be for brembo’s though so no idea what rotors you've ended up with.

Hi guys! Appreciate all your comments.

 

so i went to have a look on trade me and  some sells smaller diameter than 330 and states “fits” brembos. So wasnt sure about that but yeah was thinking will be bigger rotors will solve this issue? 
 

this is a photo of what i meant of the brembos Being thick.

      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
