If you have atleast 16"wheels and the disks/pads to match the calipers you shouldn't need any help as it's a straight swop!

If anyone has two pots that they want rid of, I'd be happy to take them off your hands, especially the discs.

Will be putting my 4 pots on today (weather permitting) I'm based around Southampton, so at least it's around your area, if not the closest.

However, the discs aren't very good. One is scored, and both are a little thin. (New 2 pot discs aren't frighteningly expensive tho.)

Calipers are in good order.

right way up - bleed nipples at the top

4 pots on the car now - took most of the afternoon, as I broke a socket and extension bar - they weren't very good, but they had to be replaced...

Was quite a simple job really, when I had the new tools. Just two bolts on the caliper and one holding the pipe on.

The hardest part was getting the air bled from the calipers... Still don't think I've got it all. Have to do it in the morning. (A benefit of Flexi time!!)

I have a MY92 Legacy 4WD Turbo. As these 4-pot calipers fit a MY94 Impreza, would they also fit my Legacy? I think (but not sure) early Impreza's have the same stinking brakes as my car, and since I will be using it on the Ring regularly, I'm very interested in this swap.

Anyone got pics of the swap?
