Can some one tell me if the pad i have outlined IS for a WRX 52 plate (pp372) ???

As the guys who i have just picked my pads up from say its a different design (pp418)
When i take a look at the caliper,albeit from the outside with wheel on,it does seem to be the drawing i have outlined........Or am i completely wrong

Im not an idiot you know,its just that these guys INSISTED that i was wrong

Are WRX brakes even 4 pot?

st3v3

well they are two pots a side, does that make them 4 pot??!!

On your diagram, PP372 98-05 4pot.

No disrespect to you here,but you are sure these will fit my 52 plated WRX bugeye front calipers,not that i dont trust you,but i need to be sure when i go back tomorrow and tell them

P1James

yes PP372 is definately for the WRX subaru 4 pot calipers

st3v3

Thanks for your input guys

so i was correct,bloody muppets, roll on Tuesday evening,

One more question.....Do the pots need "winding back in" on my WRX ?

PP372 is defo the right pad for a NON STI wrx on a 52 plate.... the caliper should have SUBARU on the side, if it has Brembo, or nothing, then they aren't the right pads and you have an oddity.......

The pistons literally just push back in.... make sure the fluid reservoir isn't too full, or it might overflow.....

st3v3

Yes my calipers do have SUBARU on the side in white,thank you for even more help

This forum does have good people on here after all,my faith is restored

Dare not ask most times ive needed help,you get the like of pslewis answering so i dont post that often for the same reason.

Pretty certain. It's only a 10 minute job to pop one out and have a look anyway, and that includes the jacking and wheel off/on time.

Piece of p!ss, not much different to my last vauxhall, took me about 2 hours to do both sides, pads and discs and that was with one of the discs well and truely seized onto the hub I would guess at about 15 minutes a side without doing the discs

Don't even need a manual, get the wheel off and it's self-explanitory

Jack up, wheel off, lid off fluid res, clip off, pins out, push piston back using old pad and some adjustable pliers, lift out old pad, copper slip new pad back and insert, copper slip pins and insert, refix clip, wheel on, jack down. Do other side then put lid back on res. Start up and pump pedal a couple of times to seat the new pads, take for a gentle test to make sure.

9/10, you forgot the anti-rattle shim on the back of the pads

Must try harder

corradoboy

Oh yeah, and there's that metal clip that sits on top and is held in by the pins. Still only takes 10 minutes though

At least you remembered to pump the brakes up, when I did my first fiesta 17 'cough' years ago I missed that and reversed off the drive, thankfully I found a kerb before I found another car
