Is anyone doing a grooved disk / Ally bell combo for the STi 7 yet?



James.

 

have you managed to warp the standard ones?

 

He might have just seen how much replacements are from Subaru...

I'm looking at these, they look good and have some good write-ups.

 

Don't AP Racing do a Bell/Disc option yet?

 

Not got them on an Impreza, but the DBA5000s have done well on my Legacy at many track days - and since mine are smaller diameter than the new STi, I should imagine they are fabulous with the Brembo callipers!

 

No, I havent warped them, but the standard disks weigh a tonne and no doubt contribute to pad knock off.

I am looking to upgrade to a grooved disk with alloy bell and performance pads.

James.

 

Speak to Pete at Scoobysport and see what he says or you could speak to Mike at Scoobymania as he owns an STI7

Better still, they (the dealers) post what they can supply us with and prices, cant be arsed chasing them up, if they want the buisness they can do the work

 

James

I doubt that the weight of the disc would have any effect, other than quite some saving on unsprung weight.

What would have an effect is the reduced heat transfer into the hub, from using a two piece disc and bell set up. This would help with the pad knock off as the bearings would remain much cooler and therefore in better condition.

That said, the biggest problem is tha calliper design. There are no PKO features in this calliper.

 

Or you could do what i've done with my Prodrive/Alcon setup. I've bought some AP 330*28mm curved vein discs then i'm getting Hi-Spec engineering to make me some bells to suit

Tony,
Mike has changed the calipers on his STI

Scott,
Would you have a contact number for Hi-Spec as I tried every where to get some bells made up for my STi after manageing to crack them at my last track day.

Replacement OEM discs cost £504 inc vat


Many thanks

Sent them an e-mail on the 26th, had no reply so have mailed them again.

 

Geoff has been away and has had a backlog. I'm booked in on Thursday and thats not soon enough cos i've been running on no pads for a while now

i can't find the number at the mo

Scott

 

Grant, what type m8 ? grooved/drilled or both ?

Deffo very interested.

 

Hopefully both,I know it sounds daft but won't know until tommorow when they turn up.Ordered them with both.

Give me a call after 4 tommorow and I will let you know.

As posted earlier in the thread by me

 

Grant... Also very interested mate, but not that keen on drilled (tend to crack).

Have you any grooved only ones?

I'll give you a bell later.

James.

 

O.K just collected the discs.
They are NOT drilled or groved but have a very funky set of venting vanes.

Very well finished, but as James said they are a tad heavy, but I suppose at the price I can't moan.

Will be fitting mine tonight.

Grant

 

Grant,
HAve they an alloy bell? Could you give us an impression of the weight versus the std disc when you take them off, not suggesting you take them to the bathroom scales, just an estimation.


Andy

 

Andy,
It is the same as the original ie one solid unit.
Weight is the same as original.

Grant

 

Sorry Grant, specifically wanted grooved or drilled m8

 

No worries.

Grant

 

Goon, Jonno (look at Members Gallery under STI prodrive lowereed...) E-mailed me about getting STD discs machined with grooves and dimples
