JDM 4 pots on Outback

Post by Davidov » Wed Jan 16, 2013 2:59 pm

Hi,
I will be putting some JDM 4 pots on my Outback and they are a simple bolt on affair, however I am unsure about whether I need to replace the brake master cylinder/ brake booster with the matching JDM gear?

I have the gear however will it affect my hill holder and pedal feel by changing it? I like the feel it has currently and the hill holder, so if i can keep them I would like to.

It will fit but depending on your rim clearance

Depending on what the calipers came from you might have to change the disc rotor to suit too.

Do a search about it - Venom when this way with his liberty - larger rims and rotors...

My Gen 3 OB Rotors are the same dimensions as the rotors the 4 pots came off (I have these also). If i need to i can use the others, my OB ones are just in better condition (JDM rotors only have 100k kms but are covered in surface rust from lack of use and being imported etc).

Im just unsure about the brake booster/ master cylinder.
