    Any word on prices yet? I'm on The fence about upgrading at this point. I'd have to convince the CFO to justify this upgrade.

    So you're using the ATS (non-V) front 4-piston Brembos on the rear of your 818? How are you doing the parking brake?

    What size wheel do you need to fit these calipers? Will a 17" wheel clear or would it have to be an 18?

    Just courteous to know what the bolt spacing is for the caliper mount holes C to C? If it’s a common say 5-1/4” they would also work with various calipers from a vendor like Wilwood.

    will these brackets fit the stock 2004 WRX Wagon (non STI) rear hubs? I know I need new rotors but between rotors and cadillac calipers this will all work? also is the parking brake not in the inside side of the rotor with 2 small shoes. it should be separate from the caliper. I am very interested in this.

    This is my setup with the brackets. I have 2002 Wrx spindles with no parking brake. I am using a drift handle to apply the rear brakes like a parking brake. I had to add a 5mm spacer to keep the wheels from rubbing the calipers.

    Thank you for that... can you measure the caliper bolt spacing? id like to cut these down like the p&l brackets so I can install without doing the bearings... again.

    Can you explain how a drift handle helps you have a parking brake when you just have calipers w/o internal drums? Thanks

    I have the rear brake line going into the drift handle/parking brake. It applies both the rear calipers and has a lever to hold the handle up thus acting like a parking brake. Some states might not like the parking brake not being separate but I track my car more then anything so no big deal to me.

    Similar to taco20 - Im installing the same concept - except mine has dual hydraulic handbrake (drift brake with bracket) so that i can retain Subaru ABS.

    Hey - checking for some help here... Ive installed Samian's rear brake caliper mounts along with new AVS (brembo callipers). Ive used 326 x 30 Brembo rotors. However my callipers are mounted too far from the centre of the hub? The could be moved inward at least 10mm - the outside 10-12mm of brake pad is not in contact with the rotor and the centre of the rotor is not contacting with the pads either?

    I know that it’s tough to start a parts business and that you’re trying to help other builders with what looks like a really good product, but, you are going to have to become a registered vendor if you wish to continue with sales of these brackets (or any other parts/service.)

    It’s been approximately 9-months since you first posted this topic (and mentioned that you would become a vendor) so I’m going to ask that you do so.

    This thread will be locked and any further similar topics will be deleted until the vendor registration is completed. If you have any questions please contact me or any of the other Moderators/Admin staff.
