I have the same car and went through alot of research when I had to replace mine.

Don't bother with the geninue Subaru ones, some companies seem to be cashing in on the fact they are hard to get hold of. I won't mention any names.

I bought mine off ebay so will dig out the guys name. Before anyone shouts cheap rubbish, they are not.

Have had no issues with them.

thanks mate i just done search and its only type r that dif ain t it ? o dear how much u pay cheers for the help mate

I had the same prob a few months back. https://www.scoobynet.com/wheels-tyr...v3-type-r.html
ended up paying £120 for oe discs plus £40 for groves.

I think its just the version 3 which is different, from memory its to do with the hand brake or something.

Could be wrong I have a failing memory!

I will be home later tonight so will check my Invoices.:thumb:

ok cheers does godspeed do them? how annoying my mate who owns a scoob and a car part shop thought i could n t use a tape lol

anyone know?

Hi
The only ones we can get are original Subaru dealer ones , not cheap at around £160 a pair , the discs are 290mm , with a 190mm handbrake , and the discs are solid not vented.

I remember when scoobylou get hers from someone on ebay , I searched and couldn't find the supplier , and PM'd her to find out who the supplier was so we could add them to our range , but never got a reply from her.
If you do find who it was , and I have just searched ebay again but there is no one advertising solid ones only vented , I would be grateful if you could say

Cheers Ian

sure will mate yea 160 does seem steep can t u get any 1 to make them up? why did they do almost same size discs on back to front?

ian are these correct??? http://www.grahamgoode.com/subaru/parts.php?item=GGS973

Hi
The 290mm discs were only fitted to the rear f a version 1 , 2 and 3 type R , so the market is very small , I can get the later version 4 and 5 type R vented rear discs , as the market is so small , the disc manufacturers aren't interested in making limited number discs.
Hopefully scoobylou will come back with more info
Cheers Ian

Yes they are the correct ones , a bit cheaper than the dealer as well

not much though after deliverys on top ,ouch!

Got some for mine over a year ago mind can't remember the price but were cheapest I could find at the time worth a call.

Sorry mate, can't find the guy on ebay any more and can't find my paperwork.

:(

Its a shame because he was a proper business and had his own website so didn't just trade on ebay.

Sorry may be I was busy.

Should have phoned me, am sure I gave you my number.

:)

these brakes are an absolute nightmare

I've been trying to upgrade mine on my v3 type r for ages and I'm just not getting anywhere, ready to give up tbh

Hey found my delivery note.

It was from Brake Depot Limited, Chatsworth Avenue, Brampton, Chesterfield, Derbyshire, S40 3JU.

I went for the grooved rear and I have had no issues.

I will see if I can dig out the name of the person I spoke too, he gave me so much help and advice, I couldn't fault him!

cheers scooblou

brake depot said they can t get them no more any1 else got any ideas where might sell them?

Sent you a PM mate.:thumb:

godspeed got some aswell at 160 a pair but was hoping could find some cheaper ones as im tight lol. cheers for your help mate.


ian did u find out if the caliper on the type r rear is standard single pot cheers

The only way to upgrade the rear brakes on a version 3 Type R is to swap the back plates for the later ones or change the whole hub for the later ones.
