Best upgrade for RB5 brakes with standard wheels
 

Hi,

My front discs are badly warped on my RB5 so I want to replace them, however I am wondering whether I can replace them with bigger / better discs and calipers from another impreza (new age, p1 etc). I don't want to spend out hundreds and hundreds on aftermarket upgrades, which is why I am looking to swap standard for standard if that makes sense. I would guess standard RB5 brakes aren't as good as standard new age breaks, but I'm not sure, and I'm also not sure if they are swappable items...?

Thanks in advance people :cool:

Don't bother. Stick with the 4-pots and good discs and pads with decent brake lines. Anything else is expensive. Plus the wheels will limit the size of caliper and you don't want to go changing the wheels on an RB5.

Don't buy them through that site though, cheaper to get a quote off him through here.

If you looking for good powerful brakes but using the original calipers then the best you can fit by a long way is my 335mm kit

It is the largest kit you can fit with the Subaru 4 pots as fitted to the RB5 , and will still fit under the standard wheels.

We only offer grooved discs now as pads are so much better they can generate a lot more heat which can cause drilled discs to crack , but here is a picture I took many moons ago of a kit under RB5 wheels , we even reconditioned his calipers to match the car as well :D

They look lovely! However the price isnt what I am really looking to spend. Don't really want to spend more than £200 for discs and pads. Do you have something in that price range?

Hi
Yes I can offer you our front and rear standard sized grooved discs with black painted centres and our Kevlar sport pads , inc vat and next day delivery for £199 all in
Cheers Ian

Hi Ian, thank you for this. How much for just the front discs and pads?

Cheers

Hi
We can offer you our grooved front discs and kevlar pads for £109.99 plus £12.50 P&P
Cheers Ian

Would that be the same price for a 98 v4 sti as I'm looking at getting new discs and pads soon?

HI
Yes same price
Cheers Ian
