Brembos... Finally doing the test

[dynomatt]

The DBA catalogue that Danny posted is a wealth of disc information, there's just not an easy way to search it.

Are you saying the Brembo's were on the STi's before they changed to the 5x114.3 PCD? So in an 04 model or something?

Reading the DBA now,02-04's came with Brembo's, but had a 25mm thick disc. The 05-06's have a 30mm disc.

Hmmm...if your'e getting the early Brembo's, the SVX disc will be too small in diameter and too thick in thickness.

If you have the chance, the later ones would be better, because there's a much wider selection of 30mm disc rotors in that diameter...25mm thick is a bit thin.

I didn't catch that.. I believe the ones I am getting are from a JDM car so I need to look a little closer

Page 111 has the WRX stuff.

Looks like a misprint on the 02-04 sti.

The original thickness is listed at 25, minimum at 30? Matt, can you send an email and ask for corrected info? More info on the height of Tribeca rotors? What is the height of f/r svx rotors?

If the wrx two pots don't bolt up, does that mean that the rear Brembo won't bolt up?

Another interesting resource.

Brembo site

Seems you can search by dimension

I haven't tried for your situation yet.

Tom, are you saying WRX 4 pots (not Brembos) are $600USD a pair in the US?

Did I mention elsewhere that the WRX 2 piston rears DO NOT bolt on...

Tribeca is a good question...are they 5x100PCD or 5x114.3? Given they are virtually a Legacy platform (I think aren't they?) they would quite likely be 5x100.

WHOOOOOOOOOOOOOAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAaa

WRX 4-Pots DO indeed bolt up????? insane

Also- for $600-800 i could go for the light 4 piston fronts if it includes EVERYTHING, I mean: calipers, pads, the whole 9 yards

Hope all the wheels are moving in the right directions.......

The SVX is mentioned in the Australian Catalogue:

I'm going to try to get together with a few guy's from NASIOC this weekend in Delaware. There having an install meet. They said if theres time they'd let me steal a rotor and caliber from an STi for a test fit. Here's to the hope that I have the time to spare this weekend.

DOIT!!!

Not sure if it's been verified yet, but 04 Brembo's are 30mm wide, not 25.

Dia = 326mm, thick = 30mm, min thick = 28mm. The 04's have a 58mm hub.

I've got 3 04's and 2 05's sitting right in front of me that I looked on. All have the same width rotor.

Just thought I'd throw that out there to clear up confusion.

WRX 4 pots are a bolt on but they require a different rotor as the "hat" height to use that caliper is different than ours. The Stoptech WRX kit caliper also bolts on using their brackets however it pushes the caliper out too far from the hub to use even their larger diameter two piece rotor (which is dual drilled, 5x100 and 5x114.3).

The Tribeca uses 5x115.3 BCP.

When bolted on the svx, do the WRX 4-pots clear the factory aluminum wheel?

What 'hat height' is needed to use the 4 pot on the SVX?

The dba.com.au catalog lists the sti hat at 53mm?

I didnt have time to figure out anything definit, but I compared the bolt points and tried to but the STI caliber over our rotor. It looks possible with the STi rotor. I needed about a extra 1.4 inch to fit the Caliber past our rotor. The bolt holes do line up perfectly though. There was a rush to move the car around and the rotors were stock on both my car and the STi, so I wasnt able to try to fit everything up. But eye balling it it look like it could be done it little to know modds. The only thing I forgot to look at was if the stock dust shield on our car could be a problem. I'll keep a lookout for another chance to do a better fit test.

[dynomatt]

The dust shield will be a problem because it's made for a specific rotor diameter.
