different brake upgrade??

**ta22gt** · 09-02-2006, 11:26 PM

Just wondering if anyone has thought about using subaru wrx 4 spot calipers.These are the same as hilux but most wont need rebuilding yet for quite a while.Or if u want something bigger you could always go for the set up i have just put on my wrx

they are awesome 335mm rotors and 4 spot monobloc calipers.Very serious brakes but kits can be built to suit supras etc.if interested let me know

what do you mean by the same as hilux?
the 90mm bolt hole spacing?

I doubt they are the same.
Yes, they use the same pads, but the rotors are bigger so the mounting bolt placement will probably be different.

Would be nice if they were the same though

They are both a sumitomo caliper so i assume they will bolt up the same but i have not checked yet just a thought as i now have a spare set of wrx calipers here.

Mullet if you are serious about a set of those brakes i can get them made to suit your application

That's an interesting development...how much would I be looking at for a front set?

Edit: How much if I order 3 sets....

You can usually fit pretty much anything if you are willing to use a 2 piece rotor and make a caliper bracket, the big obstacle is cost. thats why everyone looks to the bolt on, grab bits from wreckers options.

Mullet pm me with some details of the vehicle you want them for and i will find out for you

So any chance of double checking the caliper mount spacing then?

These calipers are radial mount meaning they bolt up from on top of the caliper not the rear side as most conventional calipers therefore you can adapt to what ever car you like.The only limiting factor is the brakes i showed earlier require a min. 17" wheel.But in saying that you woll be able to out brake most cars on the road this side of $100k or more.
