The rears the RA-R uses are basically the same as the normal
STi Brembo's just a different colour, so no need to upgrade them
as 2 pots rears should be fine.

rears do fuck all stopping

...and the rears usually last twice as long as front pads.. going off my experience anyways!

Nice pickup on the 6 potters Tino!

Sorted the cover for air filter?

Hmm not yet, maybe tomorrow hopefully, may use my left over heat shield to make a cover around the front of it.

hmmm interesting on the ra-r there definately 2pots. I wonder if the rear 4 pots are the same STI brembo gold 4 pots??

Also they may have changed the brake bias?? Id love to put the 4 pots on the rear but not sure how to go about making sure the bias is correct or even if its neccessary??

tuna · #**2778** 18-05-2010, 08:01 PM

definately not the front brembos on the rear for the R205

they're a complete new rear caliper assembly, been available as a group-n part for a while now i think.

trainwrex · #**2779** 18-05-2010, 08:10 PM

yup but could i move my front 4 pots to rear? or do rear specific brakes have different clamping pressure even though the size of the caliper is in the same?
