They are the Turox discs, I had em fitted back in Nov for a track day at brands and cominbed with some EBC red stuff pads they performed excently. Must admit to being a bit worried about warping when I came of the track and they were still smoking
But no probmlems at all. One thing I will say about the ebc pads tho is the lack of brake dust, the wheels still look clean after a weeks use.

Looks good mate.

Spoek to you this morning and you said you were getting on to Graham Goode. Let me know how it goes as i still have the contact details here.

Cant complain though cause i got them much cheaper than you expected Just need to sort out the 2 left feet problem! Lmao. And we had to wait a few weeks for them as they didnt have them in stock! Typical....

Finally a dry weekend for me and a chance to do some tarting

Having seen Scooby Jawas Thread about painting brake calipers and having upgraded to four pots myself I thought I would follow suit

Heres the Before.



I gave the hubs a good going over with a wire brush and some emery paper. and cleand the calipers with the spray stuff in the kit, which Rip speed Halfords sell.

I then painted the hubs in matt black smooth heat resistant paint, as I think the orange rust finish looks a bit pants.
Then following the intructions in the kit I painted the calipers.




This is the result after two coats, and tbh it still looks a bit thin in places. So Im gonna go over it again tomorrow. And Ive still got to paint in the Subaru lettering.
Im not sure about the matt black on the hub I might change it to a gloss finish if theres one avaliable.

If i'm not mistaken

1) they're Tarox G88's
2) the drivers front disk is the facing the wrong way!

At first i thought you'd put them on 'reverse' style, but the passenger disk is the facing the right direction.

Krade, you have two left feet!!!
