Default Interested in TAROX 6 POT BIG BRAKE CONVERSION ??

As our Group buy on headers is almost over I was just wondering if anybody is interested in the TAROX UPGRADE we do.
This includeds
2 x F2000 326mm Grooved Trackday discs
2x B32 Six pot calipers
1x High performance pad set
2x Braided hoses
2x Caliper mounting brackets.


Retail price for this kit is £1099 including the dreaded.

what do you guys think of £749 + VAT (£880 including vat)

£220 quid off retail aint too bad is it?

This kit will fit all models of Impreza from early classics to STi-7

Group buy end date for this one will be 20th August 2005

Spangly pictures to follow when IWatkins gets his finger out.

Hi Fuzz,

Very interested indeedy. Can you guys supply it VAT free if the billing address is in germany? (BFPO no.) And send it to a different delivery address, my folks house up the road?

Cheers,
Doug.

We aim to please.

Our wallets, not yours.


Brake pad choice is up to you and I should imagine there is a small variance in price depending on what you go for, I'll check out the options tomorrow if I can, although I know we are flat out tomorrow, so may well be Friday before I can take a look.

I saw these brakes when at PS last week and the discs are solid and the kit is very impressive indeed.
You will need 17'' rims to clear them remember.

A bargain.
Buy, BUY, BUY!

Stop thinking about it, get over there without braking a leg and get those stoppers! (sorry)
6 pots. dustbin lid discs. get them fitted by Fuzz if you are not a DIY'er.

I would if i had the $$$ but a holiday is looming and I refuse to sell my guitars!

Out of interest, How much wider are the Caliper's than the Subaru 4 POT's??

I've got 17" wheels but the backs of the spokes only just miss the front of the standard calipers. They Tarox's would be about 15mm further out from the center of the wheel which will increse the gap slightly.
