STi 4pot/2pot Conversion Question?????
I'm planning on doing the 4-pot(Front) and 2-pot(Rear) conversion for my '03 WRX. Any feedback(negatve or positive) on this conversion at all? Is it all bolt on type of installation or do I have to do anything special to fit those brakes???
Thanks

The rear 2-pots cost(a good bit) more than the 4-pot fronts, and you have to disassemble the rear suspension to have the stock backing plates pressed off and the 2-pot ones pressed on....$$$
The 4-pot fronts are great because they are Subaru parts and have a reputation for being bullet proof. Pad choice is very good and rebuild kits can be had cheap(uses Nissan Z32 re-build kit).
4-pot downside....Can't use stock WRX 16" wheels.
I just did the H6 rear conversion which uses a 290x10 rotor and the stock calipers with brackets that allow the bigger rotors.
