Motor currently out of my car. Forged rods pistons and custom ground cams going in. Built for high boost 240+ kw. Need to stop it well (track car fully registered). Currently run 17" alloys, what brakes can I fit easily or with adaptor kit. Currently braided lines with factory twin pot front and single rears.

Brembo's will fit any Subaru.
It all comes down to wheel and offset.
17's minimum, but offset is the key....
Series 2 Gen2 Legacy?
WRX 4/2 pots will fit under a lot more wheels.

Thanks for the reply. Your thoughts on stopping power of wrx vs sti vs brembo. Seems to be massive cost differences for I don't know how much extra stopping power. Now looking at wrx vs sti.

I have two cars.
One with Brembo's, the other with FHI 4/2 pots.
Chalk and cheese. Brembo's kill the FHI 4/2 pots.

There is zero stopping power difference. FHI will do it twice. 4pots about 5 times. Brembos 7-8 times. All at the same stopping distance which is based solely on tyre contact with road.
*arbitrary figures to show effect of larger heat dissipation and fluid volumes. But the brembos have the most 'feel', definitely.
