i got Sti brakes to go on to my wrx blob eye, when stripping the rear discs from the hub of the sti i noticed that the handbrake shoes are about 20mm wider than on the wrx, what do i need to do to get the wrx to accept the sti brake discs, they are both 100pcd and i have all the hubs etc from the sti.
i will be ordering new discs, are there any that will be big enough for the brembo calipers but retain the standard wrx handbrake components ?

Is there a fitting guide anywhere to show me what i need to do ?

 

The handbrake shoes are indeed about 20mm larger - exactly 20mm as it happens.

If you aren't planning on converting to the entire R180 back end, you will need some oversize handbrake shoes. Try Ian Godney.

 

I just want to but the sti brakes on with the simple and cheapest method pos.

i only have the hub assembly from the sti with all the hand brake gubins in, can i just swap bits i already have over to the wrx ? if so is there a guide to it ?

 

No you cannot swap parts from one to the other , the sti Has larger hubs , bearings , and shafts so the handbrake is larger , the handbrake shoes I supply are the right size to fit your back plates but fit the Sti discs
I have these in stock for next day delivery and they are £135 delivered
Cheers Ian

 

wow £135 for some shoes, and thats just the shoes not the discs right ? they got to be the most expensive shoes ever made lol are they gucci or prada

 

Do i need brackets to get the calipers to fit as well ?

 

Hi

Same with most things really , someone comes out with an idea , and uses the correct materials to make them , others cut corners and use inferior parts and sell them cheaper.
No you dont need a bracket to fit them , just the thicker handbrake shoes.
Yes I have seen the cheaper elsewhere , but they are not to the quality of ours , we use brand new handbrake shoes to start with , the cheaper ones uses used shoes from scrap cars , and our lining is the correct high temp lining made for car brakes , not low temp machinery linings that are not designed for this use , we have tried the cheaper linings and they didn't last.

We cannot offer them any less than £135 delivered , fit the cheaper ones and you take a chance on them failing
Cheers Ian
