Subaru 4 pots!

[fooyc]

1st thks for the info.

mean the front also can put in the STI's 4 pot brembo caliper, which can it pass the stock 17" rim? why brembo cos over there the pads are easier to get then the red 4 pots caliper.

OEM Rear 2pot..Getting some Refurbishment.



Installation was a snap with KNS Brakes Adapter Bracket.. Make sure if you get this to read the installation guide on Kens Website. http://www.knsbrakes.com





Looks and Performs AWESOME.. Definitely a HUGE upgrade over the Stockers.. plus I lost some rotational weight..

And With the wheel on ..



Overall

Brembo fronts will require 18" wheels.

17" with proper offset, width, and spoke clearance actually. Stock wheel should fit a 20mm spacer or thereabouts.

thks. the stock 17" is just damn ugly & si-si!

as now I hv a set of 17x8J +38 CE28N (current in my ver8 JDM STI). & 18x8.5j +48 advan RG2.

so seem can inter swap hehe... also some said the rear rotor I can used stock rotor size from a Nissan GTR34... PnP, but still need to confirm once I hv the rotor spec & size.

The Rear OEM 2 Pot uses the Stock BRZ rear Rotors.. you just need the Ver 2 Bracket from KNS Brakes. you have to knock the flashing off the mounting point with a grinder, so the bracket seats. takes about 10 mins to grind it down so the brackets work correctly. Stock Rotors.... and a Really Decent upgrade to the rear.... I added Stainless lines, Motul Fluid, and Ferrodo rear pads... I am not kidding when I say this thing STOPS... OMG.. a Substantial upgrade for when you do some decent fronts.

I've got the 4 pot fronts on, just sorting out a solution for rear rotors/brackets. I knew the stock rotors would work but not which brackets, thanks!

KNS has an install guide on their site, front page. Same instructions as 2008+ WRX, exactly what Bill said in his post above. KNS didn't have any in stock last I called him, so you may want to put in for an order.

I don't have confirmation, but I was under the impression that Kartboy had brackets for FHI 2 pots and 2008+ WRX. @tom@kartboy, care to weigh in?

No....Tom has brackets for the everything with a 170mm ebrake. Hence why I had to use the KNS bracket...

To be fair, I'm running stainless lines, ATE super blue and ferodo pads all around and it stops WAY better than stock too. I imagine the caliper is making much less difference than the rest of the upgrades.

It may not have been the same bracket, but I was at KNS 3 days ago and Ken showed me the bracket in question. There was a box full of them. Good folks at KNS, give them a call.
