I'm considering upgrading my 2005 WRX front calipers to the Subaru 4-pots and doing the H6 upgrade on the rear. Would this be a good option? Is my parts list accurate? REAR 26696FC002: $58.00 WRX rear brake pad kit (1) 26625AE000: $54.12 Outback rear caliper bracket (2) 26700AE04A: $66.36 Outback rear rotor (2) FRONT Subaru Front 4 pot Calipers http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/2002-2005-SUBARU-WRX-4-POT-CALIPER-BRAKE-UPGRADE-KIT_W0QQcmdZViewItemQQ_trksidZp1638Q2em118Q2el1247QQcategoryZ33563QQihZ008QQitemZ180206930476QQrdZ1QQsspagenameZWD1V Braided Lines http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/Stainless-steel-brake-lines-Subaru-Impreza-WRX-RS_W0QQitemZ230217137920QQcmdZViewItem?hash=item230217137920&_trksid=p3756.m20.l1116
I dont know what kind of deal your getting on the 4-pots but if you want an alternative to those thats cheaper. You should check out the Stoptech stage 2. Its awesome. Stops like mad. It contains 4 slotted rotors AXXISS pads, stainless brake lines and Motul Racing brake fluid. It was on of the best upgrades I did to my car.
There are vendors with everything you need for the H6 upgrade. http://www.fastwrx.com/suboemrearro.html http://www.subaruwrxparts.com/products/brake-kit-rear-upgrade-p-425.html The 04-05 WRX needs the brake pads from the 02-03 model from my reading. looks like you cut and pasted the parts listing nasioc sticky. Just like everything if you follow the threads you get the "this is awesome" to "don't do it suxors" I think I'm just going with the steel lines and upgrade the pads. Maybe after I get the stuff on the bench installed. Let me know how it works out for you.
I'm interested, too! I've been looking into brembos and 4 pots but don't want to upgrade to a 17inch wheels for winter to add to the cost even more. My brakes fade like crazy and I think a set of pads/rotors/lines and fluid would be niccceee!! Post up a link dude!
They are a it more spendy, but the RB kits are pretty nice. They use WRX rotors anbd same pads as Subaru 4 pots so replacements are cheap. They work well for me. http://www.oakos.com/Merchant2/merc...Product_Code=RB2010-111-411&Category_Code=920 http://www.racingbrake.com/WRX_FRONT_02_06_p/2010-111-411-78.htm
really!!??? Are you 100% sure, I've got 2003 wrx wheels so those would work? If so I'm gonna buy a set!
i did the h6 upgrade on the impreza. cheapest way to do it is go to tonka subaru for the brackets so you get the discount. buy stock legacy blanks from autozone for 20 bucks each. you can also get some nicer than stock pads for pretty cheap(hawk hps are good). Justin
he's downstairs working right now...but i believe he researched this completely because he is running wrx stockers in the winter and he is getting 4 pots from wakaba.....so i'm assuming he is correct.
