Where is the best place to get brakes for a 97 Type R STI?

changed tyres today and the brakes are knackered so will replace next week.

any links etc would be great.

thanks

We can supply you pads and front discs , the rear solid discs are only available from Subaru, they are 290mm solids on a version 3 , you can fit the version 4 onwards vented discs which we can do , but you'll need the change the rear calipers to wrx vented ones

Won't work even with the conversion kit and 2 pot rear calipers. The only way to do it is to change rear hubs to v4/v6 and or change backing plates.

carry most options on the shelf and even for the oddball stuff its never far away.....

changing the rear discs to vented as Ian suggests above using the correctly spaced "sliding" caliper is easy and something we have done a fair few times.......

I know it won't work , to fit the 2 pots on , which is why I said to fit the (classic ) wrx vented type calipers as Alyn has also said , it all bolts straight on.

You cannot fit 2 pots on the rear of a version 3 Type R unless you change the backplates to either Version 4 onwards ones , or 2001 onwards STi ones , you do not need to change the rear hubs , only the backplates

Hence (and or change backing plates.)

In my original post , I was not talking about fitting 2 pot calipers to the rear , so not sure why you're making a point of it.

I was on about fitting WRX rear vented sliding calipers , and along with the version 4 vented rear discs , these will bolt straight onto the version 3 hubs without changing any parts
