Default Caliper options for Godspeed two piece discs

AS a follow on to m other thread about brakes, i'm curious does anybody know any other subaru calipers that will fit with the 2 piece 330mm godspeed discs. Im looking for a set i can use while i take the APRacing CP6600 off and get them sent off to get refurbished. 4 pots/ brembos etc would be ideal. Im so tempted to just get rid of this setup and just go for a set of Brembos with single piece discs instead!

its not a std size so they will have been custom made to suit that 'kit'

I figured as much, im starting to hate this "custom" kit more and more, I whip the whole set up off until i can get the calipers sorted and stick on an old set of B4 calipers in the mean time. The joys of having a Subaru as a daily driver!

Its not so much this custom kit that's at fault , you buy any big kit and you won't get aftermarket one piece discs to fit with them.
At least you have the best calipers on for reliability , if you have fitted most other aftermarket calipers it would have happened long ago.
We can remove the pad plates for you , but usually it will require splitting the calipers in half , especially if you have rounded them off trying to get them out yourself , if they are rounded that much they will need drilling out

Its not that big a job to fit the standard stuff back on so yours can be done properly
Cheers Ian

So its ok to split the calipers then? i think thats the secret to getting the wear plates bolts out. Also is there any sealant i should use when reinstalling the wear plates to keep them in place and prevent dirt build up behind them ?
