I know some have them on classics, but thought that the newage didnt need them.

Or am i wrong

bttt

 

 

you could probably assume no from the tumbleweed that just went past i reckon

 

ok forget that mod then

 

Cookie

Ninnybobs had some fitted at the same time as his 10 pot tarox front brakes.....give him a quick PM and see if he noticed any difference

Shaun

 

10 pot !!! bloody hell. Then after he'd peeled the passenger off the windscreen....

 

more pots doesnt necessarily mean better mate you can get 10 pots on a mini.....yet they use 1 pots on a 7 series, i doubt the 7 series brakes will be that pants...

 

oh well gonna get one anyway, it cant hurt

 

Actually I always wondered what the difference was between the 4pot WRX callipers and the STi brembo's. I know the brembos have a bigger disk hence bigger contact surface area, but what is the 'real' difference as in braking performance with the same compound pads in both.

 

the oem 4 pot is surprisingly good IMO....certainly never let me down. As long as its mated to braided lines, good pads and good fluid they are pretty decent.

 

Tarox also do a 12 pot kit for the Impreza....derived from their Lambo range !

Big discs on an alloy ventilated bell with double pads on each side of the discs....that's 8 smaller pads up front

Hearing the cost of replacing the discs and pads can make make your ears bleed LOL

Shaun

 

So braided lines are well worth it. What pads would you recommend, I was looking at replacing with mintex M1144's on standard disks.


Appologies for leaping on ur thread cookie - u know u'd buy one of these brake master cylinder strengthening gimo's anyway, u just cant help urself m8

 

I have braided hoses at the mo, running DS2500 pads, good performance and pedal feel.

 

Neilo

I thought you had a Wilwood 6 pot set up !!

Cookie

I couldn't run the DS2500's.......far too dirty, I went for some pagid blues

Shaun

 

funky, either what you suggest or what cookie is using are both good choices despite being dusty. Ive had both, they both worked very well.

Shaun, I do now, but have only recently removed the standard 4 pots. Ive probably done about 200 miles on the wilwoods so far so they are barely bedded in anyway!!

 

Well hopefully they will only be on the car a couple more months, till i can get big brake money together.

Really liked the powerstaion kit, so looks like £1900 needs to be found

 

+ a set of 18" wheels assuming you dont already run them...thats what put me off! dont want to run 18s!

 

Was going to go up to 18's anyway this year, maybe sooner than i thought by the looks of it

 

Cookie

I ran a Godspeed big brake upgrade for a couple of years........under my 17" Bugeye OEM wheels !! they will obviously fit 18" as well

saving near on £1.5K !!

Shaun

 

Have you worked that saving out including not having to buy 18's?
