I will stick to my guy... Kstaff wants over 2k for just the calipers Not to mention another 1500 for the rotors Unless my currency calculator is not working right

did some searching on Nasioc and found some info about how they were able to mount the 300zx calipers onto the imprezza chasis.. This makes me confident that I will be able to find a way to make the Brembos work... I can make adapter brackets as long as they are not too intriquate(sp? )

Ok, well while I am at the Junkyard on Friday I will be getting what I need to begin testing different brakes.. I am going to pull a front hub from an SVX and rear hub. I also want to try and find a 300zx to see if their 4pot calipers would be comatable with our cars... With a hub off the car I have the ability to test fit and take more accurate measurements of the calipers and rotors... Just wish me luck that I can find the parts I need

Tom,
I've got a set of 300zx turbo calipers. These suit the 280mm diameter 30mm thick rotors. They will not bolt on. I believe they can be adapted, with the use of an adaptor. I still maintain, using the Subaru calipers, either 4 piston standard, or Brembo's is a better start...they at least bolt on, and then all you have to worry about is finding a suitable rotor. The offer is there to bolt a set of 4 pots onto the SVX hub to give you an idea of disc diameter required? Matt |

I talked to Todd today. We've come up with a few ideas, however a bunch more information is needed before he can even guess a price.
Option 1: adapting the WRX kit to work on the SVX. I need to know if the steering knuckle and hub are similar/the same between the two cars Option 2: go from scratch, this can allow us some larger rotors an calipers, at a higher cost. What I need to know: How big do we want to go? Diameter, thickness, and swept area? How much do we want to pay? we can put together kits from possibly as low as 1000$ (not much upgrade) to something like Dayles kit (2500$) How similar is the SVX front brake setup compared to the WRXs? Are the steering spindles the same/similar? Obviously using larger calipers/rotors will affect allowable wheels sizes. Todd says he can possibly make a stock wheel kit that uses a larger caliper and thicker rotor, but will fit under a 16 inch wheel. (if there is demand) Get back to me with opinions on what you would personally want, pay for, like, etc.

Option 1 - steering knuckles and hubs are "similar" but annoyingly different. You will struggle getting a WRX knuckle on the SVX for 2 reasons (not insurmountable), a) the ball joint on a ARX is larger, so the WRX knuckle would need a sleeve of some sort to adapt to the SVX ball joint, and the ball joints are not swappable. b) strut spacing, the SVX strut has 30mm spacing, the WRX has 25mm, so the WRX knuckle would require spacers on either side, or alternatively, use WRX complete corners.
As said above, the WRX 4 piston calipers bolt on fine. I can measure them tonight to tell you what size disc rotor you need. That's a bolt on solution if you can find a disc. Option 2 - anything is possible. |

im looking for something allong the lines of 30mm thickness with 300+mm diameter. The STi brembos would be a suitable replacement as I am not looking to drastically chnage my brakes, just looking to upgrade if I am replacing the calipers anyway...
