new front discs for 03 sti ... ideas
 

Just done my second set of front discs on my 03 sti+ppp.

2nd set i had were standard brembo replacements (non-grooved) , i used ds2500s with them and they worked well - lasted 30k.

I 've just bought some EBC redstuff pads and wondered what discs to get next .... any recomendations on grooved, drilled ... price/performance compared with the regular ones ?

cheers, mark.

PS ... couldn't find anything notable on a search in this section.

Some dealers will replace discs under warranty, on the basis that they should last more than 3 years or 36k. I had mine (WRX 4pots) replaced a few weeks back free :cool: and the mechanic who told me about it confided that they have one customer with an STi who has a set every 7-8 months :eek:

my last front discs were from AS performance not oem ... you've gotta believe a "competition" pad wears a disc quicker ... 30k on ds2500 vs 40k on oem pads seems about right ?

Why not get the EBC's ?

I spoke to TSL about this very problem last week I want to change my V7 STI front discs after only 23K. They recomeneded Disk brakes Australia 5000 sport, have a look at their website, i feel a group buy comming on here!!? Cheers paul

Have you looked at the AP's disks that Scoobymania are selling for the STI ?

They have separate bells & disks so should be less liable to warping.

Also cheaper to replace in the future.

Another vote for DBA discs, had all round on my 02 STi, with braided hoses and DS2500's, superb stopping power over and over. :)

Godspeed also do discs for this model , in either a one piece disc or a 2 piece disc and bell

i bought the EBC turbo grooved with redstuff pads ... i'll see how they go :)

thanks for advice.
