V7 STI Brake Rotors

[Guest]

Hey guys currently drive a V7 STI WRX Hatch with Brembos fitted on it.

My front slotted rotors currently on the car have started screeching hard (esp when they are hot through the gorges up north) and the slots that used to be on there have practically disappeared compared to the backs which you can see clearly.

Just wondering if I score some of these 326mm slotted rotors: http://www.trademe.co.nz/Trade-Me-Motors/Car-parts-accessories/Subaru/Brakes/auction-253928341.htm

They will be the right size?

Also, might need to score some pads too I guess? (as the current ones are probably shaped to the old rotors which have a bit of a lip in them now)

Cheers in advance

you should probably just buy them because if you score them the coppas may want to have a chat.

how about you measure your discs overall diameter, offset, thickness etc and match them up to the ones on trademe, this will give you a better idea.

Yeah I will buy them, just wondered if anyone knew the size of them off the top of their head

yeah front brembo rotors are 326 x 32, so those are the rights ones

if i buy a set of brembos and discs from an 07 sti will they bolt on my 02 v7 wrx?

the hubs are different.. so id be guessing they wont mount up

different stud pattern. you could redrill them, but just get the right ones to begin with

i thought you could bolt brembos on to any wrx/sti hubs? (unsure bout v9 ones or whenever they changed there stud pattern).just curious cause i bought brembos for my old v2 and they seem to fit i thought it would be more likelyhood that they`d fit the same model rex then a gf8 rex?

The stud pattern changed from 5x100 pcd to 5x114.3 pcd. I think the Brembos still bolt up fine.

if brembos and four pots are interchangable up to V8?.. last of the 5*100, and the hubs changed.. wouldnt the 4pots and Brembos both be redundant on the new hubs? (mounting point re-design i would think) thus you cant swap later ones back to the 5*100 hub?

4pots = (early brombos) !=(late) brembos for simplicity.. which implies 4pots != (late) brembos either ???

No, the only issue you would have is with the discs due to the PCD change (which can just be re-drilled as Matt said). I have the Ver. 9/10 hubs on my car and the mounting points are the same for the calipers, so will fit either the Subaru 4 pots or the Brembos.

The newest model (GRB) could be different though - but I am pretty sure they use the same front hubs as the 9/10.

[funkytown]

oh yup ;D i knew i was missing something obvious..

[readosnr]

the 4 pots subaru and brembo callipers are interchangable

("RA Spec C's had either type as factory depending on what spec you purhcased)

the only thing that differed was stud pattern between v7/v8 and v9/v10, size and offset were the same.

front brembos are 325mm diameter
