which brakes???

Post by RJ93SS »

i read the sticky about brakes

so i can just bolt up a set of wrx brakes???

do the bracket holes line up?

what about the abs sensor?

ofcourse i'll need the rotors and any comments to how good they actually are compared to ss brakes

what is the easiest and most popular set to put on?

From what I've heard you litterally pull the old ones off, and bolt the new ones on.

I dont think you will have any issues with the ABS sensor.

Lot of people put RS braked on and WRX brakes on...

Keep in mind that you will need larger wheels if you are going to upgrade, we can only fit stock brakes under stock wheels.

Unless of course you downgrade :shock:

The holes line up.

The lines pop in.

The ABS sensor is in the hub, which the bracket mounts to. You don't touch it.

The rotors on the 11.4" brakes from the 02-05 WRX, 01-04 Outback and 02-04 Legacy GT are less prone to warping, so it seems. They're also very common and aftermarket pad options are also.

You're set for wheels.

Just make sure you get the brackets, calipers, pads and rotors.

Your sticky is awesome jamal, but sometimes people just want the short and sweet answers.
