Fcuked off with this brake kit!!!
I have a 304mm Scoobysport Brembo brake upgrade fitted to my 1999 STi, It took ages to source a set of pads for the bloody things, and about 3 weeks and £280 to get a set of disc's made only to find the ******* dont fit my 8 hole'd bell housings, now I need a set of Bell's made to fit the 12 holes on the new disc's, Godspeed made the disks, its £200 more for new bells but need to know the off set of the old ones, I cant take one off to send to Ian as I use the car every day ARRRRRRRRRG!.
I wont even bother contacting ScoobySport as the last time i did (about a year ago) they couldn't be bothered to help!
What can I do know, I'm fecked off with the whole thing now, it would have been cheaper to get hold of a factory set up and replace the scoobysport kit!

One important criterion for caliper choice is the number of available pads and compounds for your application. Not that that helps now 
Why dont you try the supplier anyway? Worst they can do is tell you no, I guess.
Sorry to hear.

so you can buy the the disk/bell combination and the stud to mount the caliper to the car, then the offset will be correct.

I'd maybe try dropping SdB an email at the new Scoobysport, I had some probs with and exhaust supplied by the former incarnation, and he was incredibly helpful. May it could work for you too

Scooby Sport (2) is not related to Scooby Sport (1); SdB may not know that they used a Lotus disc & Mercedes calipers & that they had to file down the pads to fit.
It may well be worth sourcing new discs & calipers from an alternative source.

After this, the disc was changed for a smaller "semi floating" brembo disc, in this combination you have had to file the pads to fit in the caliper.
And after the brembo disc, they changed it to APracing disc's.
And think the best way to solve this problem is the Godspeed brake solution.

Who is XtremeScoobies? In someway related to scoobysport1?
