Brembo fitment - what fits, what doesn't?

Postby tangcla » Wed Dec 02, 2009 10:16 pm

So I've got myself a set of front and rear Brembos off an STi. :wink:

What can I use (I'm getting all four calipers, all four rotors, lines, pads, and some dogbones - I think they were going to go on a WRX) out of the lot, and what will I need to buy replacements of?

I know I will need new rear rotors, or change the handbrake shoe. Which is cheaper?

I've inquired at tuspeed and they have the lib sized handbrake rotors in stock. (well they did a month ago). They also have kartboy dogbones and stuff too. As for the brake lines, have u put on he ones from the group buy? I'm not sure if they fit but they look the same size as the sti ones. Can compare if u need me too.

I'm basically deciding if I should stick with STi rotors, or get the Liberty-specific rotor. Pros and cons both ways.

The Goodridge brake lines will fit with an additional washer, from what I have gathered.

Are they from an STi Lib or Impreza? If they are from an Impreza then you might want to do a bit more research as I remember that it wasn't a straight forward change as it is with the Lib. I remember something about hubs and driveshafts. I'm in Japan at the moment so can't really ask my boss but if you want to check give Andrew or Matt a ring at Kosciuszko Auto on 02 6456 1300.

If it were me I would buy a rotor / pad combo to suit your needs and there a plenty of options out there. I am pretty happy with my dixcel rotors and pads and they were considerably cheaper that what your will pay for Subaru STI rotors / pads. good read here Clarence http://www.dixcel.co.jp/en/rotor_dav.html

Just get the rear adapter rotor's from DBA... much easier and cheaper to get them along with the dogbone adapters imo! :)

I was but now that I have wheels that clear Brembos, this is the easy option to do fronts and rears. Plus these were available at a GREAT price.
