Ian35 Posted April 12, 2014 Share Posted April 12, 2014 Hi, I have a 2002 wrx and recently put Brembo breaks onto the rear of my car and replaced the rear discs for bigger ones. They fitted fine no problem, bled the brakes but went on a test run and noticed my abs light is on!!!! Also my hand brake is none existent I was wondering if I would need sti hub and or hand brake shoes and hand brake parts (don't know if they are bigger)??? Thanks for any help or advice Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gambit Posted April 13, 2014 Share Posted April 13, 2014 Hi mate welcome to S.O.C I've seen people do the Brembo upgrades and not had to do that before so shouldn't need to. I would give the contacts a bit of a clean on the ABS sensor and have a play around with it as long as it's not damaged should go away. It was definitely Pads and discs made to fit the Brembo brakes ? You could also try adjust the Pop out the rubber cap. Use a screwdriver to rotate the adjustment wheel and try to adjust the same amount on each side. You will have to experiment with which way to rotate the adjustment wheel. Do a small amount and pull up the hand brake to see if the brake catches. Repeat until the lever pulls up nicely. If you can't get enough adjustment that way, you will have to adjust the cable at the lever. Hope that helps :) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
