Default Upgrading Brakes?
I'm looking to upgrade my brakes soon on my 95 STi Import. I believe they are just single pot?

If so is it best to go 2 pot or 4 pot? What parts would I need if I wanted to do this? Would the brakes fit under 15" wheels?

Just having a look on ImportCarParts. What would the costs be to upgrade to either 2 or 4 pot?

I have no idea what I need to upgrade so any advice would be grateful .

Hi you have 2 pots on the front and a single pot on the rear. Have a complete 2pot setup for the rear, just need to dig them out.

4 pot front setup from a later car will bolt straight on the front of yours. you will need brackets to make the rear 2 pots fit the back.

Any body know what a good price for a set of 2pot calipers nearly new pads, nearly new godspeed vented discs, and godspeed brackets would be?

The replica ones sold by Godspeed are a very good buy as you can get brand new kit for £300 complete.
