Hey all,

For everyone (of the thousands) who have upgraded their 2 pots on a classic to 4 pots - do the bolts from the 2 pot calipers mount the new 4 pots O.K.? Did you have any issues?

I have the following going on on Saturday:

4 pots with all caliper pins and springs (from an 04 WRX - SUBARU ones, freshly painted etc), Pagid RS 4.2.1 pads, standard discs (for the 4 pots), Motul 5.1 fluid, Goodridge Stainless Braided Brake lines all round, OMP Race and Road pads with standard new discs for the rear calipers.

Its' for a 1994 STI Version 1 with the standard brake set-up.

Any advice?

When mine where done (by a garage so didn't pay attention tbh) they had no problems at all swapping them over.

 

The bolts are fine to use, there is no seat for the hose to sit in on the four pot though and you should invest in some copper washers to fit between the hose connection and the caliper.

Also dont make the mistake of mounting the calipers with the bleed nipple on the bottom, they do not bleed up very well when you do that ( Honestly, I never did that and wasted an hour)

 

i bought my 4 pots from a breaker and they gave me 2 nearside calipers so when fitted one bleed nipple was at the bottom .couldnt get a peddle.i went back to them and they brought out 4 more calipers which were marked up o/s but were near side.got the right one in the end.as long as your your discs are 294 mm you shold have no problems ,all bolts straight on

 

Cheers people.
