Took advantage of Ian's awesome current group buy offer of grooved discs and kevlar pads.
Got them all fitted today (out in the snow!)
I knew my rears could have problems as the brakes were well seized and were binding, thankfully though all 12 pistons were free and moving, the inner pads on the rears were seized solid in the caliper though! When i got my nearside inner pad out, the friction material had actually broken away from the pad itself! Im guessing it was possibly getting hot where it was binding and cracked from the heat?
So anyway, all fitted and everything thoroughly clean up with emery - brakes feel 10 times better already, probably because this is the first time iv had the rear brakes working im guessing! Looking forward to them bedding in fully





When i get some more time im gonna paint the calipers up as theyre looking a bit tatty

 

I've just had the clinic refit my Brembo Grand Tursimo brakes that were refurbed buy Ian. He made up 328mm discs and fitted them to my original Bells and supplied Kevlar pads. Can't wait to try em

 

Looking good there fella,how much all in were the disc's and pads?

 

I also have got these on mine, and find them very good, well worth the money.

Had them on for about 8 months I think now, and still going strong.

Very nice guy and very informative.

 

£99 for front set, and £99 for rear set.

Looking good mate did you paint the centres yourself or where they already done? hope you used copper slip where needed .

 

Ian is offering painted centres for free as put of the group buy on full set of front and rears.

Yes everything was cleaned up with emery and wire brushed, and copper slipped in all the required places.

 

Nice, i laquared my centres to prevent rusting ,but the bad weather has got in and need to paint mine when the weather gets abit warmer.Going grey same colour as wheels.

 

They look superb, well done there!.
I also had some from Ian a while ago, you will be mega pleased once they are bedding in, they are awesome.

Happy Christmas by the way

 

Just orderd a set of fronts for mine from Ian  I am using mintex pads in mine have the brembo cailpers what other pads would people recomemend to use

 

EBC Red stuff and above.

 

To save any confusion , Jimbob has a classic which we can supply the front and rear grooved discs with painted centres , and kevlar pads for £195 plus £15 P&P , and the 2001 onwards WRX that uses a larger rear disc is £215 plus £15 P&P for the same package

Hi
It really depends on your driving style , if its mild fast road use , mostly day to day driving then our kevlar pads are a good chioce , harder driving or track days the 3 pads I would then recommend are the Performance Friction Z rated pads at £119 a set , EBC bluestuff NDX at £146.81 or Ferodo DS2500's at £194 a set

Out of all the pads , my choice would be the Bluestuff as these are a very good alround pad , which I actually choose for my own car.

Hi
Got a close up of your wheel , but none of the car , email me some more and we'll add you on
Cheers Ian

 

Ian, do you still having the pics of my glowing disc and car? If not I'll send them to you or you can get them off the EBC site.

 

Ian

Can you point me in the direction of some upgrade disks for MY08 STI Hatch. I want to keep the black brembo's so i assume i can't go with slightly larger diameter disks ?

 

I have the picture of the glowing discs , if you send me some of the car we'll include them as well


Hi
No we dont offer a larger kit for your car , and can offer various discs and pad options here

http://66.7.200.85/~godspeed/categor...d_category=152

The only thing I can't offer at the moment is rear discs as these use a different offset disc from the earlier 4 door STi

Cheers Ian

 

Mick,
I had the 2 piece front discs and standard rear discs with PF pads. Ian managed to get 2nd hand rears from a rally build at Prodrive and then grooved for me because the rears were like hens teeth to get. The pics are on the hatch forum if you want a look. http://subaruhatch.forumotion.com/t11-brake-upgrades

Can't fault Ian on his service or product.

Paul
