If you do a quick search you'll find lots of feedback. People tend to love them and they can get a beating before fading.

Excellent! Thanks for that mate! Might take a punt on them then 👍🏻

Hi Mate,

I can recommend them, I had the combi discs all round on my last Scooby and have also used them on previous cars (Clio Williams, Clio 172, Leon Cupra K1) never had a bad word to say about them, plus they look good behind the wheels

In fact I am watching a set on eBay as it's on the list of things to get for my current car

Cheers mate thanks for that

Standard discs and pads aren't doing it for me!

Have you got a hatchback aswell ?

Scooby-Mark

Yeah same here, really noticed it since I had my A45 AMG too

I've got a 2005 STI

I've got a 2008 wrx (not Sti) hatchback. It's my daily commute car so I use it everyday!

HI
Our grooved discs and kevlar pads are ideal for your use , pads work from cold , are quiet and easy on discs .

These are the earlier WRX packages , but it would be the same price , style of grooves , and pad spec.

What's the brand of both the pads and discs mate ?

Godspeed Brakes

Hi
The discs are grooved in house on our own CNC machines , the pads are from Germany , we don't give out the make as we don't want to be copied , they are good though.
As with all our discs , they come with a 12 month guarantee against warping even if you do track days , the quality is good enough to offer this guarantee
Cheers Ian

You're not wrong, the thing is insane at times


This is the Scooby....







Not had a huge amount done to it spec wise, the usual exhaust, panel filter, fuel pump and re-map.

More cosmetic changes really, a few carbon fibre bits, JDM glass & wiper, JDM headlights, wheels, had some bodywork tidied up and planning a custom interior and a few under bonnet changes.

@scoobymark

Looks really nice mate 👍🏻...black cats always look nice stealth to me 👍🏻.

Same here...a remap and possibly a new fuel pump should bring mine up to around 290bhp hopefully...not gonna go more than 300bhp as its my daily commute car so don't wanna increase fuel costs massively.

What do you prefer though the scoob or amg ? My mates got a skyline aswell but loves the amg

Matty81

@godspeedbrakes

Cheers for that bud...ill have a think about what I wanna do...do you sell black grooved discs by any chance ?

All of our discs come with black painted centres as standard , we can get them coated black , but where the pads sit , it comes off straight away same as the black diamond ones will

Cheers Ian

Cheers mate, that is the look I have gone for, amazing the difference putting black wheels on and loosing a few of the pink STI stickers.


Think mine is around 340, not the daily drive so once a few things are done I might chase a few more BHP.


In a way two very different cars, both very quick, both have their unique sound which you never get bored of. The more modern gearbox and it being automatic makes the AMG easier driving every day and the ride isn't as harsh, but the fun factor and proper driving in the scooby never fails to put a smile on your face, so a hard call to make really.

Matty81

Sounds like you've got the best of both worlds mate

I luv the sound of a scoob and the Amg's make more of a popping sound which is something I like about them but I think your right in saying the scoob' are a bit more raw to drive

Scooby-Mark

Yeah does kind of feel like that, tough decision to make some mornings when the suns out


The AMG exhaust was the first thing I added just to make sure I got the pops and bangs

Matty81

Is the exhaust an extra you have to buy then ?

Scooby-Mark

Yes, pretty much everything is

To be fair it was £510 for the full system which compared to £1695 for the rear wing seemed a bargain.

Like a lot of German cars everything comes as part of a "pack" so can't always just add the one single item, thankfully the exhaust was one item you could.

worth it for the noise

Matty81

God yes it needs to be done mate 👍🏻...my cousin has ordered a new focus rs and he bought the uprated recaro's which cost him an xtra £1500...that's how these companies try and earn most of the money
