Thanks mate appreciate it

Well I've been looking at a set of eibach springs from scoobyworld should lower it by 25mm

Also what's your opinion on brakes ? As I'm only going to be running 300ish is it worth getting brembos ? Or shall I just uprate disc and pads ?

id get brembos, emmas wrx has similar mechanical mods to what you're doing plus brembos and coilovers.


its a great little road car now, i wouldnt bother uprating the wrx brakes if you have the money for second hand brembos.

I can't wait for it to be finished

Brembo's all round? Or will just a front set up be ok ?

tubbytommy

iTrader: (20)

nah just fronts, rears are a pain to fit to a wrx as it involves custom handbrake shoe set up.

not impossible but hardly noticable braking wise and not worth the money really.

most of the braking is done through the fronts anyway.

i saw some brembos on ebay the other day that needed a helicoil insert,they were cheap aswell,might be worth looking for some like that if you can get it helicoil'd yourself

Mustoe91

iTrader: (2)

What's involved in that Matt ?

the shreksta

iTrader: (20)

im not 100% sure mate,its when the thread is knackered.

read here,if you an find some cheap enough it could save you some money

May just go all out and get some Porsche brakes like somebody I know

the shreksta

iTrader: (20)

pah good luck,over £2k for them but the previous owner put them on so they didnt cost me owt,they do look ****ing awesome and they really do stop the car well but @ £2k+ i have to question if they are that much better than a cheaper ap-set up

you could do the kit in bits by getting the calipers from a breakers then get either alyn@asperformance or ian@godspeed brakes to make some mounts for them

discs wise they use the 355mm ap 2 piece kit same as the ap upgrade package then the pads have to be custom machined.alyn has one of my old pads as a template

i should imagine that doing it yourself would be alot cheaper than powerstations price + their after sales service is garbage.when i wanted replacement pads they said i would have to wait for them to get about 10 people wanting pads to warrant them getting them made..............

brembos will be fine for fast road use,if you really want the porker set up drop alyn or ian a pm regarding prices etc

hope this helps mate

p.s @ 10 years old now if you get brembos it may be worth sending them to ian for a stripdown and clean,new seals etc and fresh paint

Sounds like a lot of hassle mate

To be honest I think brembos will be enough for me

I have a set of Porsche 6 pots cost me £1200 not got to use them in anger yet but have been told pad are nearly £300 and not many people sell themso brought a set of k sport cheep just in case

Mustoe91

iTrader: (2)

They look amazing

johnnybon

iTrader: (70)

Yes but expensive to buy and run 8 pot k sports are cheaper and there's a lot of options in pads not what the difference in stoping power between them

Mustoe91

iTrader: (2)

Well I still think brembo's will be enough I'd need a bank loan if I wanted Porsche brake ha

johnnybon

iTrader: (70)

Brembos are very good I have them on my blob and work very well

Mustoe91

iTrader: (2)

That's that sorted brembo's it is but by god them Porsche brakes are gorgeous

johnnybon

iTrader: (70)

That's what I though so just had to have them can't wait to use them they are going on my new track car should be around 500 bhp so might need them


You won't be disappointed with the brembos though

Mustoe91

iTrader: (2)

That's a track car I'd love to go it

Drove a friends scooby and he had brembos on and was really happy with them then just have to source a pair now

johnnybon

iTrader: (70)

So would I

There's always good sets for sale on here so won't be to hard to find

Mustoe91

iTrader: (2)

Save the pennies then get some next month I think

Looking good sam! If you dont want brembos look at Tarox discs and pads had these on my classic with 4 pots and they made a massive difference!

Little delivery today brought this lot


Also thanks to Matt for putting me on to Paul to arrange to get all these parts fitted also with a service and a cambelt change as car has hit 60k

Few more little bits to purchase up pipe and induction kit and bonnet scoop then will be all systems go

the shreksta

iTrader: (20)

Just a quick thought mate,check your injector seals are ok before you take your car to pauls as he won't fit them if the seals are no good for obvious reasons.if they look a bit past it get some new ones IIRC there is 3 seals per injector

Mustoe91

iTrader: (2)

The injectors have been serviced and cleaned before he sent them to me mate so take it there spot on

Mustoe91

iTrader: (2)

Little update Friday will be purchasing a Harvey trick up pipe as I think the combination with the turbo will be fantastic

Also I've booked my car in on the 20th of feb and arranged Duncan to map it for me on Monday the 24th, it's booked in to have all the performance upgrades fitted along with, service, cambelt water pump and oil pump fitted thought it was better to be safe than sorry as it's hit 60k

Really looking forward to this
