hello,

i have just bought a set of 4 pots with 320mm discs to upgrade my standard 93 wrx and fitting them i have noticed the calipers are pretty close to the wheels, about 1mm clearance from the front edge of the caliper to the back edge of the wheel spokes.

they are standard p1 brakes and the wheels are subaru 17" speedlines, is
the clearance enough ?

any info please

cheers

carl

 

Do they have "Subaru" stamped on them?

 

no they dont mate , so they wont be subaru then ?

 

subaru 4 pots have ,funnily, have subaru stamped on them and are 294mm discs not 320mm perhaps if you post a piccy then someone may be able to identify them

 

Prodrive/Alcons?

 

sorry bud wires crossed, yes calipers have subaru on them

wheels dont , dow

 

do the p1 run 320mm discs as thats what i bought them as , also there groved

are you sure they are 320mm discs as i don't think they fit standard 4 pots.

Not really a problem as the 4 pots with the 294mm discs are a lot better than the 2 pots (go for some goodridge hoses as well £50 and 5.1 brake fluid)

 

333mm discs , just measured them

 

ive got some full stainless aeroquip on the way, ill look into the fluid

 

Its one of my 335mm brakes kits using the standard 4 pot calipers , I have run them as close as 1mm with no problems , its an old kit as I started doing the discs with curved grooves about 6 or 7 years ago , if you need discs or pads give me a shout
Cheers Ian

 

whats the braking breaking like with these discs then !

 

very good

 

cheers for all of the replys appreciated
