Reconditioned Subaru 4-Pot Group Buy?
Just wondering if there would be any interest in a group buy on reconditioned Subaru 4 Pots?
I'm not to sure on availability as yet but 4-5 pairs should be do-able. Turn around would aim to be within a month as i work offshore and that two weeks on the platform puts a damper on things.
Can't say anything on price yet but it would most likely be alot less than you would imagine. I have a pair of these on my car and they are certainly up to the mark in my opinion.
The only downside is they do not come with the pad retaining rods nor springs which aren't cheap from Subaru. I'm sure with a little head scratching we can sort this out however.

Let me know if you're interested?

Safe to say the prices will be low. The problem is getting the supply atm.

Go get some Julian, your silver shed needs some stopping power before it becomes a short super silver shed! 
£300 is usual for 2nd hand 4 pots with clips / springs, pads and often disks ( mine were!
)
These calipers alone should be cheap, new basic disks say £80 upwards if you want grooved / drilled etc, pads £85 upwards depending on make / spec, etc.
Look at SAPMotorparts.com and Camskill.com ( or .co.uk maybe ? ) for std disks, pads etc.
These look good, and I would guesshave ben serviced so new seals etc.

Called the supplier again today and it looks as though demand has very much out weighed supply. I'll keep trying them periodically but in the meantime this GB's going to have to be whacked on the head.
Really sorry to disappoint guys, i wish there was more i could do... no, you're not having my set.
