Default Will newage rear hubs fit a classic?

I'm thinking about upgrading to a Brembo setup later this year.

I know the front STI brembos are a straight swap and the rear STI brembo's need some billet mounts.

The question i have is, will the whole rear hub assembly off a newage fit a classic? (i think i remember reading it does)

What i'm thinking of doing is putting some newage hubs on now with the 2 pot calipers then swiching to Brembo's when i up the power.

I presume the rear brembo calipers are a straight swap on a newage for the subaru 2 pot rears.

Calipers may be but discs, hubs, drive shafts & diff are different and you'd need to swap the lot. Look for a thread from Scott T about this.

Banny, so do I but Craig is asking about STi hubs and brakes.

There are several options for doing it, but as Mark says you can't just fit the Hubs as the driveshafts are different.

This is what i am planning to do.

Do i need newage driveshafts?

After fitting the hubs i was planning on upgrading the calipers to brembo ones as i increase the power.

So in effect i would end up with newage wrx/uk turbo hubs with sti brembo calipers and discs on them.

Your current driveshafts will be fine as i did not change mine and have not had any problems. You may get slightly more camber from using these hubs that is the only thing i noticed.

Cheers

Thought they were pretty much a straight swap.
