You`ll need 294m disks iirc, have them on my 1995 Classic.

Got my disks and pads from Godspeed and also he reconditioned my calipers.

I think the disc that comes with them will fit.

You'd have to state what year classic you have, they are not all the same. After 98, the brakes are essentially the same as the bugeye, except for the STi, which has brembos.

it's a 98 R reg. the calipers on it just now are two pot and the discs are 270 odd mm (cant remember exact size) although when i ordered new ones a while back there was the option of 294mm. guessing these are the ones i'm after?
i only got the calipers from a friend who had upgraded but he didn't keep the discs

Hi
As standard your car will have 277mm discs , the 294mm discs fit with the Subaru embossed 4 pot calipers.
If your after discs and pads , I have an offer of our grooved discs and kevlar pads for £99.99 plus £12.50 P&P with the black painted centres on the discs , or £10 less if you don't want them painted , these are a good fast road setup , but wouldn't be suitable for track days , you would need a better pad for this

See here for further details

Default brake upgrade

Hello, i'm sorry to cut in on your conversation but i'm not sure how to post a thread. Does anyone know if brake callipers and discs off an 07 plate fit onto a 94 classic please? i've already got four pots on it but one has seized and warped the disc. I've been offered callipers and discs off a 07 plate but need to know if they fit? Thankyou for your time. Pete.

Hi
Yes the will fit straight on , as an option I can supply you fully reconditioned calipers with stainless steel pistons for £235 a pair on an exchange basis , these pistons will never rust

Thankyou very much for the help Ian, your prices are really good in comparison and i would have taken you up on them but i got a baby on the way so money is in short supply at the moment. The 07 brakes are off a friend so i got mates rates on them but should i need anything else, i will definately message you. Again, thankyou very much for your help. Pete.
