quick 2pot questions
I've searched around this forum and the sticky's and can't seem to get the answer I need. so here are the questions.
My car is 04wrx I have the 06wrx 2 pot caliper/pads/lines & kartboy bracket. can i use the 06/07 wrx rear rotors? will this work correctly with the parking brake. (my assumption is yes, both R160) instead of the kartboy brackets can I just use the 06/07 backing plate on the 04 wrx knuckle? with the 06/07 rear rotors finally will the kartboy bracket work on the brembo 2 pots? (this one i get yes and no) thanks guys.

just got an answer from ken at wrxbrakes here it is
Here's how it goes. You can bolt either Brembo or 06-07 WRX rear 2 pot on an 02-05 WRX. The brackets for each are different. The wrx rear rotor has 170mm park brake so any 06-07 wrx rotor works. For Brembo's you need a rotor w/ the 170mm park drum (or oversize park brake pads). Brembo and DBA make the rotor so that's not a huge deal. -ken |

My understanding is the following:
-You can use Dogbone adapters, OR, swap backing plates. -Backing plates differ WRX - STi (which is caused by R160 vs R180 -> differing hubs) -You can bolt on 'SUBARU', OR, Brembo 2-pots using either adapters or backing plates. -WRX uses a 170mm handbrake (so yes, you can use 06/07 WRX rear rotors w/'SUBARU' 2-pots on your WRX, no issues. -STi uses a 190mm handbrake. If you wish to run Brembo 2-pots (along with the bigger rear discs) you'll either need to get the special DBA rotor of STi size, but with 170mm handbrake, OR, get 'fat' handbrake shoes. |
