03 soobie rs brake calipers

Post by ryman » Tue May 27, 2008 7:49 pm

hi

i'm going to purchase some rims for my rs and i don't want the old dark brake calipers showing through so i was wondering if there's a way to upgrade the existing calipers to the red sti ones? is it a major job or is it just a matter of swapping calipers?

thanks

Go to your local auto-spares store and look for the VHT Brake caliper paint.

Or buy the 4 Pot front calipers, found on 2000 and on WRX's (early ones where a crappy green black colour, 06 and 07 are red) and paint them, they bolt straight on.
You'll need the bigger rotors too.
