4pot brakes

Post by 06Suparu »

Im curious about making the switch to the 4pot front brakes. You guys that have done the switch. Was it worth it? Did you use Subaru parts? What did you use for parts from what years?

I have done the conversion on a couple subarus now. The pedal feels objectively better to me and they look cooler. It's not a necessary mod.

I did the swap a few months ago and it was definitely worth it, though I got a great deal on the set from a friend, wouldn't have spent the usual amount that they go for buying them on ebay or other places. My method 15" wheels clear them as well so that was a big plus.
