Default Brembo V7 rear calipers onto WRX Bugeye

Is it a straight swap. I think it is but you need the backing plate for the handbrake?

It all bolts straight on but you need the thicker handbrake shoes we supply , you can't fit the backplate on

I have looked into the rear discs with the 170mm handbrake , they are available , no one has stock so it would be the new year , they are £333 a pair , they seemed to think they wouldn't be grooved.

Although the handbrake shoes are expensive ( or maybe not going by the price above ) at least the handbrake shoes should last the life of the car , if you bought the discs with the correct size handbrake , when they wear down , you need to buy them again at that price.

I can supply grooved 316mm rear discs for £119 a pair , and the shoes for £125 a set.

Its still the cheapest way of doing it

they are available grooved or drilled Ian, and you obviously speak to the "wrong" people as i am aware of stock easily available, albeit in limited numbers due to demand (in comparison to std STi rear discs)

If the importers are the wrong people then yes I do it doesn't change the fact its a lot more expensive way of doing it though !

Davebeck , I see your selling your newage 2 pots , I'm after some of these so will swap you a set of the handbrake shoes for them if you want

well you've either spoke to the office cat or you have spoke to the "wrong" importer as there are a couple..............

either way they ae definately available (as i said above) and will be either drilled or slotted and RRP is slightly below your posted cost

be happy to help, just ask
