Hi all

Today has gone badly!!

Went to do a brake and disc change all round, given wrong pads so not a lot happened by time i got round to do it and shop had closed!!! Also piston gaiters don't exist on the majority of the pistons! What price am I looking at for a refurb pair of front 2pot brakes? I have a 2.0 non turbo 52plate

Cheers

Will cost more than to upgrade to 4pots. Take the parts back and order some subaru 4pots. Remake them branded wrx, try Godspeed http://www.godspeedbrakes.co.uk/~god...id_product=138 or you can get them second hand cheap

 

My Mrs has four pots on her Sport Special - they are much better than the standard brakes - I've got the ones mentioned in the post above on My Hawkeye R Sport - they are very good.

Get some fast road pads on them though - we use Mintex 1155 on the fronts and 1144 on the rear - she's also got HEL braided brake lines as well - they make a difference.

 

Thanks for all replies going to have a look at the 4 pots!! Does it matter if I did go for the upgrade that the backs will still be standard at all

You mean the Brake backing plates ?

The disks will be bigger (294 mm) so we took them off.

Think the op means rear brakes. No its not a problem to upgrade fronts and leave the rears as they are.

 

Yeah did mean rear as in rear brake caliper!! Sorry didn't word it right!! I have sorted front and back calipers now after some digging about on the Internet!

Thanks for all the help
