Front Subaru 4 pot calipers with discs and pads
As the title says, I'll be removing my front 4 pots shortly to replace them with Brembos. I originally got them back in June to get rid of the crappy 2 pot fronts on my classic. I cleaned them and give them a coat of silver to tidy them up. Generally they're in pretty good shape.
They had Godspeed stainless pistons and new seals fitted about 1 year ago. I pulled them out and checked them over when I was painting the calipers and they are all perfect. Nothing seized or damaged. The pins etc are all good too. These calipers work fine.
The pads (Pagid I think) have a good bit of life left in them as do the discs which are grooved and drilled. They dont seem warped (I'm still using them!).
Great upgrade for any classic (bolt straight on) or ideal to replace existing seized 4 pots as they have stainless pistons.
To comply with the rules the price is £200 but of course I'll look at offers. Postage will be £20 for the calipers, discs and pads using Parcelforce. Any payments will need to be made via PayPal as a gift as the fees are ridiculous!

I have rear two pots, with pads as well but one of the pads is damaged. They're in decent standard condition too. I'm currently building a sandblaster so if your not in a huge rush I can blast them clean and prime them too

I didn't see that you were from here either lol! Im actually replacing all my brakes with brembos. My rear one pot sliding calipers have been rebuilt and painted silver too with new pads, discs and handbrake shoes. I'll be taking them off as well. The pads and discs have done no more than 300 miles and all working 100%. I really wanted to wait for a couple of weeks so I could paint the brembos but at the same time I'd like to see the other stuff put to good use as well. I could put the car up on stands for a week or two I'm sure.

Ah your only 5 minutes away! I'm down near Belvoir lol. If you want I'll drive up. They're all still on the car at the minute. I'm just nipping out to check if the brembos will fit under my wheels.

Ok, no worries. I just checked that they'll fit and they do
The front pads have 9mm of material left on and 5mm before they touch the wear indicators. The front discs only have 0.5mm of wear. The rears like I say are basically new so I didn't bother measuring them.
I replaced/refurbished everything when I got my car in June as it had been sitting two years. It's only done roughly 300 miles since then.
It's up to you mate, I don't mind taking the car off the road for a while until I paint the brembos and to be honest it'll give me a push to do it (getting lazy).
