Wilwood 4 pot vs Subaru 4 pot
How do those 2 calipers compare for track use? Availability of pads? I already have the Wilwoods but have never tried the Subaru.
Other calipers recommended that fit under 16 inch mags? Jaz

this was covered in depth a week ago.. and a week before that, and a month before that... in other words, everything you may wish to know can be found by searching.

Yes, seen.
The Brembo 4 pot won't fit under 16 inch wheels, but the Subaru 4 pot will. |

To settle this:
Yes, it's a WELL known fact that the suby 4 pots fit under the GC chassis RS wheels. The ones that are 16x7. I've got a set that are shod with my race rubber. edit: To answer the original question, I can only answer from the perspective of the Suby 4 pots. Mine have been thru 3 track days and have held up extremely well lap after lap. Even at Roebling Road, where the end of the front straight I was seeing 120+ The brakes never even hinted at fade after 12-15 minute sessions. For a bit of empirical data, all HPDEs have been run with Porterfield R4S pads. mike |

Yeah Joe, I wasn't trying to dispute you. I was just trying to tell the Spider-guy that it's been very established that the older RS wheels fit fine. I remember the discussion we had with Clayton about this about a year and a half ago. mike |

I can assure you that the Subaru 4-Pots are an all-around better part than the Wilwoods. The only thing the Subies give up is weight. IMO, the Subaru caliper is superior.

This is, of course, a topic of personal preference, and some heated debate. I am more than willing to hear arguments from the other side and any evidence to prove what setup is better. |

I have been wanting to get my Subaru 4-Pots on our flex rig for a while now, perhaps this is the kick in the butt that I needed. And my apologies about the Dynalite, for some reason I was thinking of the Dynalite II which does have a cross-over tube but is also not used in any Subaru kits as far as I know.

4 pots fit under legacy gt rims. they are 16s.
also, what is a good brake upgrade for the rear if doing the 4 pots for the front? I have a 95 legacy and it has 1 piston brakes front and back. I was thinking the h6 upgrade but i cant find the rear mounts, but i can find all of the wrx parts to do that. |

Kid the 4pots dont fit under the Legacy GT wheels without spacers. You must have the single pots on the 260mm rotors. Lemme do some math and find out how the 4pots would affect your stock bias to begin with. I dont know what you mean by mounts, but to get the "H6" rears on you car you need to replace all the rear setup - calipers, caliper brackets, rotors, pads and hardware. ss |
