Default FINALLY!!!!.... They've arrived!!

My Alcon 6 pots have arrived.



I'll be down at Zaks fitting these tomorrow, hopefully get the car taxed and get her back on the road.

I highly doubt i'll make the posers either but it will be nice just to have my car back

Can you funking belive it!!!

Ive been sent the wrong stuff again!!

This time i have a 370mm 6 pot kit, not only wrong diameter but wrong PCD on the hubs too.

Whats wrong with these people.

1800 quid on brakes and in 7 weeks they cant get it right

To say im officially funked off is an understatement.

Ive taken a day off to fit these too... what a funking waste

That is ridiculous!

I know they are good, but I think I would be asking for a refund, and get a set of AP 6 pots.

I'll be back on the phone to em monday.. if its not sorted this week then i want my money back.

I really didnt want AP's but that may be my only option if this buch of monkeys cant sort out one funking order.

okay.. this is the latest update.

Turns out Alcon are now making me a completely new bespoke kit as they seem to of thought that my STI was 114.5 x 5 pcd as is the 05 onwards STi's.

Subsequently they have never made a 6 pot kit for the earlier hubs... untill now. This is because they thought that the 6 pot was way too overpowering for the classic impreza so never offered a classic 6 pot kit. My car is effectively the same as a classic in terms of PCD and hub size. as are all pre 05 sti's. However the newage cars are 150kg heavier than that of the classic so can make full use of the 6 pot calipers.

So effectively mine will be the very first. of the new setups.

Subsequently ive now got to wait until the 19th for these to be made. I told them that this is a pi55take and expessed my views accordingly.

So ive now got them to include a set of Mintex F2 race pads to use on track.. saving me about £200.

IVE TOLD THEM THAT IF THEYRE NOT READY BY THE 19TH THEN THEY CAN SHOVE IT.
