4 pots will go straight on the front colm, no bother, everything will line up perfectly seeing as you have the disks and pads to go with the calipers :thumbsup:

If you ever want to upgrade the rear to 2 pots, then you will need rear adapter brackets for that but defo not for the front :thumbsup:
 
Thanks Robbie

so wanted to know if i can use the black 4 pots from the front i have and stick them on the rear

Ah, i see. But I don't think so colm, the offset will be all wrong for things to line up and the disks won't fit over the handbrake shoes. The brake balance will be off too having the same calipers front and rear
 
wont that imbalance the car colm, ud want 6 pods on front if u have 4 on the back :ponder2:, ur better off with 2 pods on rear
 
Yeah I was thinking it might Jason
not sure :ponder2:
could have sworn ive seen one going around my way with it done

wel if u put brembos up front and put the standard four pots at the back ud have no probs just a thought!
 
yeah thanks
i found out i cant have 4 pots on front and back
so im just gonna fit the new red ones ive bought and then sell on my old 4 pots
at least the red will look well on the car wich is what i wanted
just wasnt sure what to do with the old ones
brembos will have to wait for next years budget :thumbsup:
 
I've seen a few classics with subaru 4 pots front and rear. I used to wonder why the wrx's i saw had them and mine didn't
