308mm lovely

[Edited by Redman11 - 4/3/2002 10:06:01 PM]

 

I have sorted a deal on a group buy for Godspeed 308mm / 4 pot brake conversions. I am told this kit will fit behind 16" wheels or bigger.

For more info on the kit click

www.godspeedbrakes.co.uk

and follow the links to the spec. page.

Ian Godney has told me that the current retail for the 308mm kit for the impreza is £575 all in (I know the website says £550)

If we can get 10 kits together he'll do each kit for £500.

You can choose your spec of disc...grooved, cross drilled, combi....and you can have the calipers done in any colour you want.

I'm definately up for this.....my brakes are knackered and the cash is sitting here, so it's just another 9 or more of you.

Post a reply or mail me if you're interested and when theres enough names in the hat we're sorted!!!

I'll be up for that, except i want the 335mm conversion, and i need them real soon (got a track day on the 30th).

Don't suppose u know why i can't get hold of him by phone, have been trying since friday.

 

i also might be interested if there a 335mm deal.

Hi , I will also do a group buy on the 335mm kit , you must have the subaru 4 pots for this , I will do 5 kits at £500 each , £50 off , and free delivery ,
Catflap , look at the big disc kits page , click on 308mm kits and this is the kit in the group buy ,
Paul G , If my answer machine is on I'm working on one of the machines , either leave a message and I'll ring you when I'm free or email me ,

Edited to add I will take any combination of 10 kits to make it easier to arrange ,

Hope this helps ,

Many Thanks , Ian

I'm interested if email to Ian comes back to the positive about whether they'd fit under my alloys .

Couple of questions....

Can I use my own 4 pots calipers with the 308mm kit, if so how much does it cost without the calipers ??

Is the £500 for the 335mm kit without the calipers ??

Is there any difference between the standard Scoob 4 pots and the ones in the kit ???

Stuart

 

good question sasim, thinking the same thing myself

 

Not wanting to but in, but I can answer those question, the 308 kit will NOT use the impreza caliper, the 335mm kit will, thats the one I would go for if I didn't have a disc and bell 294 kit.
Ron

 

I've only got the standard two pots, so I'm up for the 308mm kit...(thats why I sorted the deal for those originally ).

Many thanx Ian for sorting peoples queries out today

When this is sorted I'll come and pick my kit up since we're not too far from each other.

When are you rallying next...anything coming up in Pembrey? Circuit is only 10 minutes from my house so I'll come down for a look.

David

 

just how good are these, when compared with Bremo's etc

 

Scott,

One of the Welsh scoobynetters, Ceri (CPofWales) had the 335mm / subaru 4 pot conversion and he reckoned it was an excellent set up. Ceri did a few track days and reported excellent braking with little fade (guess he wasn't trying hard enough ). Obviously he's not had Brembos etc. fitted to compare the Godspeed kit with, so I can only go on his (and many others who have bought kits) recommendation.

The other thing to note (obvious really) is that this kit is less than half what you pay for a Brembo / AP setup.....so you pays your money and makes your choice

Have a chat with Ian (Godney) direct m8.

David

 

I am interested in the 335mm

YHM

Martin

 

Martin,

I guess I just got mail from you ????

Can everyone who is genuinely interested in either of the kits please either mail me to confirm or post a big YES so that we can keep track of numbers

Seems to be going quite well

David

 

Just to whet your appetites, here is the 335mm behind 17" rims, am well pleased with it, despite not getting it at group buy price Ian

 

mmmmmmmmmmmmmmmm......chocolate.................

can't wait......good brakes at last........I've only put up with those damned 2 pots for almost 2 years now!!!!

David

 

ok....i think this is the list so far based upon e-mails i've received tonight and the bbs...........

Me....308mm kit (definately confirmed)
Martin....335 kit (definately confirmed)
Paul G....335 kit (definately confirmed but needs them like yesterday )
Ray T....335 kit (to be confirmed)
Stan....335 kit (to be confirmed)

I'll edit the list as the info./confirmations arrive

David

 

when are we looking to do this?

i could be in but would have to wait a week for pay day?

Incidently how would ths kit compair to a 99 *with 4 pots anyway, and some top brand disks and pads?

What benafits are there to the godspeeed set up, ive hered nothing but good things about them, but would just like a little more info.

Thnx (maybe ian if yo uread this a little time explaing the benafits would go a long way, to the ignorent like myself)

Thanx

catflap

catflap,

I'm sure if you give a DEFINATE yes, we can add you to the list .

Once the numbers are up to what we need I will contact Ian....or he'll post here in the meantime

David

 

any more for any more?????

 

Dizzy , I got your photo , the 308mm 4 pot kit will fit under your wheels ,

Sasim , you cannot use the 308mm discs with the subaru four pot calipers , only standard size or 335mm discs , if you fit the 308mm discs you are only going up from 294mm , the caliper only comes out 7mm which is not enough room to fit a bracket , The 335mm kit is complete less calipers , you use the subaru 4 pot ones but with bigger than standard pads.The calipers in our kit work as well as the standard 4 pot calipers.

Dave , had a big off in Eppynt 2 weeks ago and rushing to get it ready for Caerwent this sunday , no pembrey's until the end of the year , there is a Talbenny coming up end of april.

Catflap , The benifits from our 308mm kit to the standard scooby brakes are they are slightly bigger , when it comes to brakes size does matter , and the alloy bells dissapate the heat quicker which makes them a lot harder to warp ,

Hope this helps , any more questions fire away , Ian

Cheers Ian,
I can't belive I'm doing this but.. count me in looks like the dawes and boost gauge will have to wait a couple of months

 

Ian,
a couple of questions about the below.

("The 335mm kit is complete less calipers , you use the subaru 4 pot ones but with bigger than standard pads.The calipers in our kit work as well as the standard 4 pot calipers.")


1/ on the 335mm disc "how thick" is it ?

2/ is the subaru 4 pot caliper left as standard? or does it have to be modified?

3/ if disk is thicker and caliper standard "are the pads thinner".

thanks ray t

 

Ray ,

1- the discs are 32mm thick

2- In the kit is alloy spacers and longer bolts that fit in between the caliper halves , this makes them wide enough to fit over the thicker discs .

3-The pads are about same length and thickness of a standard subaru pad , but are 10mm wider , the pad area on our discs are 10mm wider than the pad area on the standard 294mm discs .

Cheers Ian

 

I'm interested in these. Gonna give Ian a call to check all will fit on my MY01.

Maybe Ian can post if I havn't spoken to him before he reads this.

I have an MY01 with standard 17" alloys, and want the 335mm upgrade.

I am right in thinking that my 95 wrx discs are only 270mm aren't I????

Therefore the 308mm with 4 pot conversion will be much better!?!?

David

 

ok....updated scoreboard as follows

Me....308mm kit (confirmed)
Martin....335mm kit (confirmed)
Dizzy....308mm kit (confirmed)
Ray T....335mm kit (confirmed)
Stan....335mm kit (to be confirmed)
Catflap....308mm kit (to be confirmed)
Gordon....(dependant upon suitability for my01)

A total currently standing at 7 kits.....3 more needed will we do it?

David

(edited to add Gordon subject to fitment on MY01)
(edited to remove Paul G from the scoreboard)
(edited to raise Ray to confirmed status)
