Default SSR Type F - Brembo test fit volunteers!

Hey guys,

Looking into purchasing some brand new brembo 4-pots. Found out the scary way at a tuning arvo a few weeks back. Jim + Jarrod from Blue Star thought so too after driving it haha.

Right now I'm running the bread and butter set-up (rotors + pads + fluid).

I have had a read of: http://www.perth-wrx.com/vb/mechanic...e-brembos.html

Was wondering if anyone could help me test fit an SSR wheel on their car? I would be willing to pay you for your time + effort. Essentially any STI 01-04 (PCD 5 x 100 for the rotors).

I ask because the SSR's are 18 x 8.0+48 but the wheel face looks pretty small. May be a tight fit.

These are the brembo's I want: Brembo OE Gold Front Brake Kit Subaru Impreza 2002-2007 / WRX 2002-2012 at RallySportDirect.com

Brand new from the US. Direct replacement for the stock fronts.

If they don't fit I guess DBA5000's + more aggressive pads are the go.

Cheers,
Shane.

Shane - just buy them. If they don't fit I'll happily buy off you at a discounted price

Might be quicker, easier and cheaper to test fit your rims on someone else's car that has Brembo's Shane, I'm sure there is someone out there with 5 x 100PCD and Brembos in the piggy shape??
