Default 2 POT FRONT BRAKE CALIPER REQUIRED

Hi
I require a 2 pot caliper for a 98 UK Impreza It's actually only the slider housing I need as the slider on my N/S Caliper has seized but a full caliper would be good. I bought 2 off fleabay but they are the wrong type.

Many thanks in advance and merry xmas

regards

Stevie

A 98 UK car should have 4 pots on, they say Subaru on the face.

Like this.


If you really do want a 2 pot caliper, I have a set in the garage from my 95 WRX, £20 + p&p for the pair just to get rid of them.

As far as I'm aware, their are only two types of brakes for the Classic - 2 pots and 4 pots, there were no variants of them either.

A uk MY98 car comes with 2 pots, the 4 pots were not fitted until the MY99 cars, but you would be better off finding a set of the 4 pots and discs, around the 200-250 quid mark and upgrade

Hi
I'm not fitting the ones off ebay as they are off an older car and it's only the bracket with the sliders I need as the the pistons on the caliper are fine.
