I've seen a few pictures of people using the 4 pot Subaru calipers on bigger disc.... sont know what disc or how they mount the caliper. But just wondering if anyone knows any more about this mod, and if it's worth it?

its most probably the Godspeed kit https://www.godspeedbrakes.co.uk/imp...onversion.html,my wife had them on her Impreza before she upgraded to gold sti 4 pot Brembo callipers,in all honesty they were miles better compared to the o.e set up.SJ.

Ok I got another question if I may 😅.
I've got a turbo 2000 and a type R....
the turbo 2000 has the gold bembos on and the type R has the subaru 4 pots on the front.
will the bembos on the turbo 2000 got on the type R
type R is 1997 on a P reg.
thanks in advance 😉

Subaru front calipers are all straight swaps.SJ.

Leggygtb

Yes but you may need to swap wheels too to clear brembos
both cars are 100 pcd

What i should add is wheel size comes into play as well especially when fitting Gold STI brembo calipers as they will only fit Under 17” or above with STI offset,even certain different style wheels can give you problems fitting brembos.SJ.

They are a bulky Caliper,but work very well,i was running them on mine when my car was running 450+,their on my wife’s classic now..,

Rare as rocking horse poo but work great and look the poodles-plums......my old porsche set up

Leggygtb

porsche set up was overated in my opinion, not as good as ap and a pain in the *** to get pads for.
pretty though

When I started my project a mate offered me a set of Porsche calipers just like yours pictured....but as i wanted to do the rears as well i went for the Ap’s...Part of me still wish’s that i gave them a try at the time,as my friend always use to rave about how good they were.SJ.

That was the other reason i never bought them,speaking to Alan of asperformance he told me the same thing,after that i just purchased a full set of AP calipers from him.SJ.

Leggygtb

I had the same dilemma, ap on the front but their isnt a rear set that fits, so fitted hatch sti brembos powdercoated with a new badge


my OCD would allow different badges

NICE!..SJ.

i did the same 😁
Ap on the front and brembo on the back would have made my left eye twitch when I looked at it.

glad it's not just me!
