where to get handbrake shoes

Hi guys,

Struggling to track these down.

I need the brake shoes for the handbrake.

Car model is 2004 WR1

Anyone know where to get them? So far I have been told main dealer only, but that can't be right!

Cheers!

These will not fit the STi WR1 , these are for the smaller 170mm handbrake

cheers Ian. I did actually call you guys up earlier today to enquire. Always call you guys first for brakes.

So, have we established the ones on import car parts are no good too???

I phoned 3 main dealers today - one said their parts guy was off sick, one said their parts guy was on lunch, and one said they would find out for me, and they never called back... Gotta love main dealers...
