4 pots have SUBARU on them and i don't think they were introduced until about 1999 ( i think) on UK models.

4 pots

luffy

what brakes do i have then and what discs/pads fit as for example on CRN performance website they dont list anything else or are they the same as the forrester or wagon brakes?

cheers

luffy

yes you have. 4 pots came out in 98.

luffy

i thought so, i just found the ebc box which the existing pads came in so i typed the code into google and it came up with forrester/impreza pads.

are these brakes any good with uprated pads and discs? or should i save and go for a complete brake kit upgrade

what size are the wheels in the pic as from what i can see they look like 2 pot calipers so that should mean you 275 mm discs if you are still unsure phone crn and ask for some advice they are a very helpful company got mine from there he other month carnt beat there prices ether

just to check does your calipers have subaru on them

luffy

the wheels are 17"

yeah im gonna give them a call tomorrow, im not after mad stopping power just the previous owner put ebc green stuff pads on which are crap and the discs have pitted real bad so if i can find the right discs and pads then im a happy chappy.

never had 2 pots, but going by what people say on here, they are terrible.
The Subaru 4 pots can be had for 150-200 quid on here with disc's and pads, and are considered a big improvement.

hope that helps.

2 pots aren't very good imo (my 93wrx came with them) and didn't inspire confidence, i changed to the 4 pots with standard discs,Black diamond pads,goodridge hoses and 5.1 fluid (brake stopper to come) and they are much better.

Avoid EBC (**** me even they don't recommend green stuff for 4wd and cars over 200bhp).

luffy

tell me about it, they recommend greenstuff pads for hot bloody hatches!!! no wonder my brakes are so crap!!!

i take it need to keep an eye out for someone breaking a scooby with 4 pots to get hold of a set
