Power Station do a Porsche brake kit so probably... think you need 18" wheels though to fit over them.

18's only, read on a site that distributes the kit for the Impreza. I saw a Porsche brake kit on an Audi S3 not so long ago!

With the right bracket any caliper should fit as its the brake line connecting in and the pistons pressing a pad against a disk, well in theory!


Reality is usually different - those porsche ones are mmmmm

Hi Steve,

here is PS Setup, they may be able to do u the bits needed to convert your existing callipers, worth giving them a Bell.

Cannon Fodder had the Porsche Conversion quite some time ago.. maybe he can advise a bit, or point u in the direction of wher and what his kit comprised of

If you've got the callipers it would be worth dropping Ian Godney a line on here or at http://www.godspeedbrakes.co.uk/
There's not much he doesn't know about impreza brakes, and when I was down there getting his big brake upgrade fitted he had a set of Porsche callipers he was working on IIRC
