[FT-86 SpeedFactory]

We've been getting a lot of inquiries lately pertaining to the Performance Package brakes on MY17 cars. Guys looking for new rotors, Pad compounds, and wheel clearance mostly. Well, we finally found some time and brought in a caliper in-house to get tested on our own 86. So, we wanted to share the info we found today and hopefully build on that a bit with more info or info that everyone else is finding as well.

First thing we found out is standard STI pad compounds drop right into the caliper. The backing plate and shape are identical. Along with thickness, these slide in perfectly against the 326x30 DBA rotor we tested.

Second is we do have some aftermarket rotor options from DBA, as these are dual drilled and for STI application. The 5000 series rotor we tested is 326x30 and dual drilled for 5x100 and 5x114 application, making these a nice upgrade for anyone looking for replacement rotors on a PP equipped vehicle. That also means DBA's other offerings that are dual pattern drilled will work as well. The T3 4000 series and T2 Street series will also be direct replacements as their STI applications are also dual drilled, signified by the "-10" on the end of their PN.

Third is wheel fitments. These will continued to be tested, but we do have a round of wheels that we have fitted to ensure clearance on these calipers. Only photos of the 17" 57CR, but tested wheels that clear are listed below.
