What calipers do I have?

Post by 03bug »

So I bought a 94 impreza with "upgraded" brakes. I'm not sure what the calipers are off of. Tried looking up the casting numbers but haven't had any luck. I would like to know if these would be a upgrade on my 91 ss

WRX have a larger front but SS rear brakes are pretty good. They might be off a WRX you could measure the diameter of the front rotor and look in the sticky for the size.

From what I can tell from a search, same size brakes as your SS has now, just different style pad.

The front is the 97-02 style that uses pad shape d721. Looks like wrx sized (294mm) rotor too. Rear I can't tell from that angle. Need to see the bracket where the pad fits in, but they are probably also from a WRX.

So the fronts are larger than an SS (294 vs 276mm), while the rears are the same diameter but not vented, and would be a downgrade.
