Classic owners this make much difference ??


Made quite a difference to mine stopped it squirming under heavy braking but I did have the rubish 1 pot calipers with solid discs which had uneven wear on the inner / outer faces .

I think the later uk has the vented rear discs like the early jdm's .

The vented uprated discs on my brvs scoob did seem better than my solid rear disc set up . the newage rear discs are bigger dia (less fade) and obviously the calipers press a piston on each side rather than relying on the sliding mechanism to nip both sides of the discs equally

I need some new rear calipers one of mine locked in on way to jae

Both my 94 jdm and 97 UK ran a R160 rear set up which use the same handbrake set up as newage wrx .

I was lucky enough to pick up relatively new discs and pads with my 2 pot calipers (£150)

So just had to buy the conversion brackets from Asperformance and grind the rear splash guards off to fit them .

If your unsure if your later classic handbrake assembly is compatible give Alyn a call when ordering the brackets and he'll know

Yeah I got a set for 130 !

Do you have to grind off the splash guards ?

Just text a mate he didn't ? Will have to have a look

Strange I had to pull the UK'S splash guards off, well the pretty much fell off tbh (rusty as fook)

And grind the v1 jdm ones off as the newage rear discs are bigger in diameter so foul on both types of splash guards

Will wait and see
