Turbo2000 Brakes, shocking, what are the options
 
Ok so who else thinks the brakes on the classic 2000's are shocking??

Just wondering what the options are besides a brembo upgrade?

Would upgradin to a set of P1 calipers and disks fit?

The brakes you have are amazing compared to the 2 pots on pre 96 Classics

Pre 96 were shocking 2 pots on the front with 270mm discs
From 96/97 on they were the 4 pots with 297mm vented discs, these are the same as on the P1.

Take a look at the K Sport 6 or 8 pots

Mine are pre 96, they truely are shocking, its a 93, I'll look into the K Sport

J.Lander 10-10-2009 10:45 AM

I cant really afford the K Sport 6 or 8 pots but i have seen some P1 4 pot callipers and disks at a reasonable pprice, will they fit straight on or need some spacers or brackets made up?

turbo 2000 brakes
 
96/97 on brakes were still 2pots but apparently modified.uk,s didnt gain 4pots until MY2000.

the 4pots and 297mm disks are a straight bolt on job.

Dyney 10-10-2009 09:09 PM

MY97/8 UK and WRXs still have 2 pots, but use a different pad shape.
MY96> STI's and all MY99> all had 4 pots with the 294mm disc.

The 4 pots and discs are a direct swap for all the 2 pots.
Just make sure they will fit under your wheels. You need atleast 16"s and most wheels will clear, but the optional twin spoke Speedline 17's offered on MY97/8 UK's don't fit.

Crowman 10-10-2009 09:11 PM

Yep
As Dyney says.
Good man

My brother has the big AP conversion and they are the mutts nuts. I've got the 4 pot conversion, stop me well enough

J.Lander 11-10-2009 09:24 PM

cheers guys i will have a good hunt around for some 4pots, give me a shout if you hear or see of any fore sale at a good price, which leads me onto what the tend to see for??

If you do find some 4 pots you may need new wheels, as it happens if you're quick my 17's may still be up for grabs!
