burnin4 Posted May 12, 2006 Share Posted May 12, 2006 I'd be very interested in a group buy for rear brembos. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
edmundu Posted May 12, 2006 Share Posted May 12, 2006 No idea what you are talking about here. --Dan Mach V FastWRX.com I have TWR Racing 2pc rotor's, that have a Al center hub, and what they did was to move the rotor outboard by about 10mm. This is enough to not need to remove the dustshield. The rotor is still slightly larger, but much of the rotor is protected. I have to mention that this isn't an available kit, as I needed to have custom brackets made to mount the caliper. It also only works with their rotor, but luckily they have really good thick rotor's meant to stand up to the abuse of track racing... http://img375.imageshack.us/img375/6535/sm10040797oe.jpg Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Opie Posted May 12, 2006 Share Posted May 12, 2006 I installed my Brembo rear kit this evening...even with removing the dust sheild, notching the spindle and repainting the bare metal blak it only took about an hour and 15 minutes start to finish. http://www.thel7.com/Wills/qwik.jpg I even used a Dremel for the notching! Tungsten Carbide tip of course...I only had a chance to bed them in but the braking seems much "flatter now, no front end dive at all. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mach V Dan Posted May 12, 2006 Author Share Posted May 12, 2006 Dan, aren't you interested in a group buy on the rear Brembos? You're ignoring us! Perhaps with good reason...but it's rude. Please, Dan, group buy? Pleeeeassssseeee. I've posted this before, but I'm not a big "group buy" kind of guy. Some reasons...(copied from another post of mine) - Group buys are quite a bit of work to administer. - From experience, if 40 people say they're interested, in the end, two will actually pay. - The group buy people always want full normal customer service (and who wouldn't?), despite ordering through a group buy, so it ends up costing us the same as a normal sale. - Group buys always take longer than they're supposed to, and the members get annoyed. - I'd like people to order when they want the item, rather than wait for a group buy. We pride ourselves on our service level, and the group buy thing just doesn't seem consistent with our standards of customer service and prompt order-handling. Finally, even ignoring all my points above, the sheer mass of the brake kits makes them not really group buy material. --Dan Mach V FastWRX.com Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KartRacerBoy Posted May 12, 2006 Share Posted May 12, 2006 Fair enough, but work on Brembo to lower that rear kit price! They're just trading on their reputation for great products, the bastards. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PGT Posted May 12, 2006 Share Posted May 12, 2006 with all due respect Dan, your competitors have done group buys on the Brembo front kit. It's simple to do - set a minimum number of people....the order goes in once that minimum is reached and they are all paid. No risk to you and people get a bit of a break on an expensive upgrade.

Mach V Dan Posted February 18, 2007 Author Share Posted February 18, 2007 available from the UK here http://www.godspeedbrakes.co.uk/Subaru/Rear/Rear_classic.htm Those are for the Subaru two-pot setup, not the Brembo two-pot rear calipers. --Dan Mach V FastWRX.com Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
C.S. Posted February 19, 2007 Share Posted February 19, 2007 thanks! I'll take my car tomorrow with brembo STI installed The swap of the rear rotor took so long to build, they changed the brake line with SS custom, to build the rear fitting kit custom........ The guys worked 22 hours. Unfortunately, I knew later that DBA sells rear discs for Legacy with STI's caliper Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mgiguere20 Posted February 26, 2007 Share Posted February 26, 2007 Those are for the Subaru two-pot setup, not the Brembo two-pot rear calipers. --Dan Mach V FastWRX.com But, the larger handbrake shoes should still work with our cars and the sti rotors, right??? Then all that is needed is the correct rear brackets. Let me know if I'm missing something. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dbasteve Posted April 30, 2007 Share Posted April 30, 2007 Ken at WRX Brakes is making the brackets for the STi rear conversion. http://wrxbrakes.knsbrakes.com/ He has a shipment of DBA rears (STi) coming with the 170mm handbrake. This is a one piece rotor. No pressed in sleeves. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Opie Posted May 1, 2007 Share Posted May 1, 2007 nope it only works for the wrx The WRX bracket will work...just needs a little finessing, same as the brackets that come with the WRX Brembo kit that Dan shows earlier in this thread. Many of us, including me, have gone this way. Works fine...over 20,000 miles on mine... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kred Posted November 26, 2014 Share Posted November 26, 2014 Ok, so I have 04 STI rear brembos and OEM rotors and the adapter brackets. Just to clarify, 1. Will these rotors clear the e-brake? 2. Do I need anything else to make it work? 3. What's the best thing to use for grinding and how much of a pain is that? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ragman Posted November 28, 2014 Share Posted November 28, 2014 If you are using the oem 2004 sti rotors with the adapter brackets, then you'll need special parking brake pads. http://www.knsbrakes.com/c/kns-bracket Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

How is the DBA adaptor rotor any different? I measured the inner diameter of the rotors I have, and they're 190mm wide where the parking brake goes.
