What are these like compared to the gold brembo of old?

Ive heard rumours that they are only as good as the wrx 4 pots found on previous models.

Anyone had experience of both? running the new sti brembo front brakes?

Cheers in advance

I had theses fitted to my old bugeye & i cant say a bad thing about them & it was like night & day when i changed from the wrx 4 pots.

Sadly the rears didnt fit but i was more than happy with the fronts.






In fact i have a Hawkeye STI PPP now & i think the 2008 black brembo is better than the older model.

They looked the nuts mate.

There is a front set on ebay at moment for £500 and was thinking of going for them

Just bought some front and rears(gold) for £550 with discs and pads.

cusco kid

same calipers as the gold type front fits all classics and newage apart from pcd on discs rears wont fit any without fabricated bracket

The black and gold front brembo calipers are the same , just different colours , the rears are different , but use the same pad as the gold ones so would work no better than the gold ones , the black rears dont fit the earlier cars like the gold ones do

I got mine last year front and rears calipers, discs and pads on ebay for £550 and paid another £50 to get the front discs redrilled to suit the 100pcd of the bugeye.

Sold the rear calipers alone on ebay for £350.
