Guys recently had new brake pads fitted to my 2003 wrx and the garage said to me the pistons seemed siezed on the front but they think they had freed them up but the brakes seem really poor now is this a common problem?

Any advice not wanting to spend a fortune upgrading the brakes

 

If the pistons are seized/seizing they should be removed all the pistons and inspected/replaced as required. Pistons seals should be done too.

If they stick, they will overheat/wear your pads/discs.

 

Perfect mate any advice on where to get these from and prices i'm totaly new to the subaru world

 

Seal kit is cheap from your local Subaru Dealers (about £25-30) from memory.

 

Thanks, anybody else got advice where i can get replcment pistons from.

 

should be able to get them refurbished for a decent price, I'd get both sides done. try godspeed

 

Godspeed sell a kit with stainless steel pistons, and a full set of seals, or will refurbish them for you.
