My father-in-law recently retired from the metal fabrication business after many years in the engineering trade. He still has plenty of contacts so I got him to sort me out some stainless steel components for referbing my Subaru 4 pot calipers. Here are the results:





It wasn't cost effective to just make up one set so got a few sets made up so that I can pass on a quality product to you guys/gals! I have 5 sets of each available for this group buy:


Set of 8 stainless caliper pistons (to fit Subaru 4 pots) - £80



Set of 4 stainless brake pad retaining pins (to fit Subaru 4 pots) - £15




I have also been in touch with a few suppliers and have bought in some seals and other bits needed for the refurb so can offer a full kit for £150 which includes:

8 x Stainless steel caliper pistons
8 x Piston seals
8 x Piston dust covers
8 x Piston dust cover clips
1 x Pack of piston seal lubricant
2 x Stainless steel bleed nipples
2 x Bleed nipple covers
4 x Stainless steel brake pad retaining pins
4 x Stainless steel retaining pin clips
4 x Copper brake line washers
1 x DOT 5.1 high performance brake fluid (l litre)


Postage and packaging via recorded delivery:
£15 for full kit
£9 for pistons
£3 for smaller package (set of pins)

Also just getting some bits together to refurb my rears so could do a kit for those too?

Any questions then please ask.

Not a bad price for the Pots,a saving of £30-£40 but the rest is at the same price as the shops etc

free bump

 

These brake pad retaining pins are stainless and wont rust so are a much better long term investment over the originals. They also look much nicer!

Due to the thread of the bolts most places wont stock them. I went to a nut and bolt specialist and it took them a while to hunt some down. They also wont sell you anything less than a box of 100!

 

Sold a few bits on other sites - get them while you can!

 

Still got these available

 

So it's £139 for the lot including delivery? Is there chance of a discount if you order everything? It's not much of a saving over some other places who would do the painting as well...

 

Unsure how you get to £139???

Pistons £75
Pins £15
Bolts £5
Postage £8

Total £103

 

think he means with the dust covers and clips mate

 

Aye.

If there's a discount to be had for ordering the lot then I will be very interested.

 

The pistons are already 25% - 30% cheaper than what I can find them anywhere else - Id say thats a very good discount already (take a look at other group buys and the discounts are not usually as good as this!)

I don't have any of the seals/nipples, just stating the prices that I can get hold of them for should you want them too (usually take a few days to get hold of)

 

I've just sold my 4 pots to a friend and 1 of the pistons is seized and aonther of the seals is a bit tatty...

A kit to do just one caliper is around £85 so to get them both fully refurbed for another £48 is definately worth it. (Price based on this offer plus the seal kit = £133 total).

He could be very interested in this. I've let him know and will get back to you

 

Well that didnt take long for him to decide, he said to sign him up!

He wants everything, the piston kit with all the bolts and pins and the seal kit.

Everything minus the stainless steel nipples... actually saying that he will probably want them too so yeah EVERYTHING on offer please.

£139?

How are you taking payment?

 

pm sent

 

Still got some of these, just been too busy at work to promote them.

I have bought in some seals and other bits needed for the refurb so can offer as a full kit to save you tracking everything down.

Grab them while you can!

 

Too bad these aint for the Girling Jag calipers else i would have had a set

 

Anyone else need anything?

 

Sent u a PM

Cheers!

 

do you still have the stainless caliper pins?

 

PM repiled

Yes, still got some of the 4 pot caliper pins and also have a couple of sets of pins to fit the Subaru 2 pot rears if anyone is interested?

 

I bought one of these kits for my 4 pots and some of the bits for the rear 2pots. They are a great kit. And a great guy to buy from.

 

almost ready to order a set of pistons if you still have any

 

Yep - still got a few of the 4 pot pistons.

I have had a few people enquire about pistons for the 2 pot rears. I recently rebuilt mine and the pistons were in good condition so I didn't think there would be much demand for them? (though my 04wrx has only done 38k) Would anyone else be interested in these? They are likely to be a bit more than the 4 pot pistons due to the smaller quantity but if there is enough interest then I can enquire about this further.

 

Hi Dan,

The refurb kit arrived, all present & correct and VERY well packed.

Note to anyone else thinking about getting one, the seal kit supplied is genuine Subaru and the rest of the parts are great quality.

Thanks!

hi,
im interested in a set of pistons for both the rear 2 pots.
can you get these and pm me your price with postage to dublin, ireland please.

 

Hi m8 let me know if you can do front and rear if so how much

Cheers

 

Got round to fitting mine at the weekend, only prob was removing one of the pistons (and getting the pad retaining pins out) Otherwise everything fitted ok.

Put on some discs & pads from Godspeed and brakes are great now!


Cheers,

AJS

 

hi m8 any special tools needed?

 

Hi M8,

Nothing special needed, I started a new thread here to explain a bit more about it :- https://www.scoobynet.com/wheels-tyr...ml#post9860265

 

Hi. I'm interested in a complete set if you still have some left. What do I need to do to pay for them and get my address to you?

 

Please can you send me payment details for the pins

James
