Just wondering,

Is there a 'kit' that allows the standard Subaru 4 pot front calipers to be spaced out away from the hub and therefore use a larger diameter disc?

I've seen the ones on the Godspeed site, but they use thicker discs and fancy two piece discs. Very nice, but perhaps a little rich for my wallet at the mo.

I've emailed Godspeed but it is the bank holiday and I'm impatient

Anyone?

Godspeed will supply u all u need here, his 335mm kit is great, but u will have to pay the money....but to be honest u wont get a much cheaper 'big brake' setup cheaper anywere else IMHO!!

godspeed brakes i have found are a good upgrade . i fitted them with goodridge hoses and ds2500 pads.

They certainly do fill the arches.

As I'm being really lazy, what rear brakes are you running with these?

Guess I'll save up then.

The only kit I know of that retains the standard Subaru 4 pot calipers is the 335mm kit I make , It is on offer at the moment at £595 , it will match any other kit of the same size in performance with the right pads , as long as your calipers are working right with no sticky pistons.

Mr terzo , I can supply you matching grooved rear discs to match the fronts to go with the 2 pot rears , along with pads and the mounting bracket kit to fit them to the classic hubs

Cheers for getting back to me on this.

The kit you sell is quite obviously very good. Just out of interest though, you mention you sell a slightly larger pad to make use of the increased swept area of the disc; what make and model number are the pads?

Also, what cost is a replacement disc?

These things don't last forever so will need replacing at some point, just wondered on what price the upkeep would be?

Would you be better off selling your 4 pots and putting the money towards Brembo's etc?

I did think about that but the trouble is I'd need to get a set of brakes prior to selling my current set up. Money is a bit tight atm having just laid out on a few odds and sods. I do like a good brake set up though regardless of the power, for me it's as important as a decent chassis. Engine mods are way down my list.

My current set up with M1155 pads is fine for me at the moment and seem to do the trick admireably on the road. More than enough braking in my opinion.

I am looking at swapping the rears for the 2 pot versions to match the fronts though, partly for the looks (vein I know) but I'm a strong believer in keeping the balance correct. Just got to start collecting bits really rather than pay some of the prices on Ebay at the moment.

Sold my 4pots for £300 after getting a pair of StopTechs 2nd hand. All in cost me about £300 for some monster stoppers.
