Very nice
I bet you 20p the wheels go over the brembo's nicely

 

Cheers mate.

just a new spoiler know as the current is fading, which is annoying me a bit.

like I said mate, shocking brakes. They are a 5x100 fitment on their know, that's why I bought them. And I hope they fit haha.

i gave him the year and looked elsewhere, and by what I've read they will fit. Clearance was the only thing questionable.

 

I wanted an sti but hatch but for a decent one I was looking at an xtra £7000 which I couldn't push to.

 

Hahaha cheers zany. Any recommendations on brake fluid whilst thinking about it ? Heard the motul 300 is good ?

 

Best person for recommendations and advice on the brakes side would either be Godspeed brakes or as performance excellent service and they'll advise you on any other bits of info you'll need for fitting aswell with a good price

 

Don't matter if it's a wrx or a sti as long as it puts a smile on your face bro

 

To be honest, I wouldn't worry about the brake fluid. Just use good dot 5 stuff. I used to use expensive RBF600 fluid in my cars which is supposed to withstand higher temperatures etc, but I never track my cars so it's completely pointless. I just let Subaru use their standard fluid in it these days and it makes no difference at all.

 

Haha it does put a smile on my face zany! .

cheers boys. That's good info. .

 

Can you buy the gold brembo paint from a shop at all do you know ?

 

Nope. Nobody makes or sells the exact same shade of Brembo gold. Been looking for this for years and tried everything. There is thread upon thread on this.


I ended up buying gold calliper paint from eBay to paint the rears. Wasn't quite the same colour, but you couldn't tell.

 

Argh okay. That doesn't make sense because they'd make alot of money just on paint if they did. eBay it is then mate.

 

Have a gander on here for the paint thread bro I'm sure next man got one very close to the shade some real good info on that thread

OR.. check fitment etc take back off along with your rear calipers send off to Godspeed brakes where they can professionally refurb your calipers and paint to the colour of your choice do it once do it proper
Or the eBay method is pretty effective aswell

 

Do they just paint them or is it a package ?. Might have a look at eBay aswell because when I get them delivered they will be off anyway.

 

But then again the rears will need to be refurbed anyway.

 

Just wanted to add my voice to this discussion, I'm getting my car back later today with Brembos all round on a newage (05) WRX wagon, 5x100 PCD. Bought them off someone on southeastscoobies, and got front and rear, with braided lines still attached and with pads, and front discs for £540. Spent another £200-odd on Godspeed rear discs with the handbrake insert and another £200 on a set of STi 17" wheels - was keen to stay on 17s as my geo setup was done with the stock WRX 17s (which DO NOT fit over Brembos). I picked up a pot of paint off ebay to touch up the STi wheels as they were a bit tatty. It's not a perfect match but will do until I decide whether to get a proper refurb and repaint job done.

So with fitting and wheels we're talking £1100 or so altogether. Might get a brake stopper too, at least I can fit that myself, bottled out of doing the Brembos at home!

I've only done one trackday in the wagon but didn't want to do another one until the brakes were improved....looking at doing an event on the Silverstone Grand Prix circuit early next year :-D

Will report back on the difference between stock WRX and Brembo brakes once I've had a few days to play.

 

They do it all bro Full whack FROM seals to pistons, nipples discs pads BRAIDED BRAKELINES etc they is on here checkout traders section init and give them a buzz nice guys to deal with a lot of positive feedback

 

Very wise choice if going on a track then defo buy a brakestopper kit really makes a difference on the pedal feel and braking

 

Welcome pal.

Yes please if you can. I'd be interested to know what they are like.

 

With the brembo's fitted to the rear as well I'm sure you'll notice a huge difference. Something I'd maybe consider myself.

 

i doubt you would notice any difference at all by fitting rear brembos on a relitivley standard car. They provide very little of the stopping power

 

Don't think I'll bother then.

 

your simply repeating an internet myth IMO, the rears on a 4wd performance car have a big influence on the overall ability of the car and how effectively the fronts can operate

your post is only true of some thing like a FWD hot hatch

 

Argh that's interesting to know @asperformance. Would a change in pads and discs make alot of difference ?

 

im not denying the importance of it, when I spoke to you regarding upgrading my rears 8 pot 330mm fronts and subaru 2 pot rears. You advised me upgraded discs and pads would be fine, no need to fit brembo calipers on the rear. I was specifically asking about this and balancing the braking force front to rear to stop the nose diving feeling...

So if on my car there is no benefit to having the rear brembos, on a standard car what benefit is there? At my power level and use if anything I should need more rear braking force?

 

we speak to hundreds if not thousands of people so no idea specifically what question you asked or who exactly you spoke to BUT there is a difference between std 2pot rears and Brembo's in terms of braking force
however there may be budget or fitment issues, etc. that mean you were given advice to meet your own needs??

 

i took standard 2 pot wrx calipers and I pot wrx calipers off of my WRX hatch and now have full size brembos on the front with larger discs and also 2 pot brembos on the back again with a larger disc and the whole car feels so much better when braking.

I wouldn't want to do a full emergency stop as I think it would turn over...seriously the brembo set up is awesome.

 

Did they fit ok on the front mate ?

 

so long as you have 5x100pcd the discs will fit I have 330mm now and the brembos bolted straight on...so long as you have wheels they will fit behind !!!

if you want brembos on the back you must use the black hatch ones as all other brembos do not fit...

PM me if you want more info

 

Bit more rarer to find the rear black brembos. Most breakers sell the gold ones.

 

gold ones will not fit black ones will bolt straight on and work like a dream
