What calipers could I use on my 07 Spec B

I want to replace them but heard I could use ones off a WRX.
What year WRX?

Anything "WRX" other than 06/07 4pots/2pots would be a downgrade. Those specific calipers are red, you can't miss 'em.

What are you looking to accomplish? Why are you changing out your calipers?

WRX brakes are a downgrade.

I'm changing my rotors, pads and brake lines, well my calipers look like crap, they look like they are rusting.

I have a set of stock calipers for sale if you're interested--good condition. Other than that you're looking at remanufactured stuff from rock auto, wrx red 4/2pots, and then BBKs.

EDIT: the rust probably isnt hurting anything and you could also just try an clean them up.

The WRX 4/2 setup is a downgrade from LGT brakes as well. Freshen up those LGT brakes or do what BMB is and get some BBK bling bling.

Is the rust you're referring to like this?



If so, you are fine. Apply some brake lube while you're replacing your pads and rotors too.

You could always apply some black or silver caliper paint, unless the rust is extremely bad, it's really just a cosmetic issue.

As said above, ALL wrx calipers are a downgrade from lgt brakes, even the 4/2 piston fixed ones.

Pads, fluid, ss lines, and rotors and you should be solid. The next step up would be sti brembos and then a true BBK.

Or you can upgrade to Nissan Z32 calipers, uses the same pad shape as the Subaru 4-pot.

This set up is nice because it utilizes the fixed caliper design, and it uses an LGT front rotor.

The problem is that the Subaru 4-pot pads have a smaller surface area than the lgt brakes. You get the advantages of a fixed caliper, but smaller pad surface means earlier fade, not really ideal.

Thanks fellas! This forum never fails lol

Could any one give a list of tools and sizes that I would need to
To make this happen?
