New brakes for Late Blob-eye WRX
My late 2005 Impreza wagon I purchased last year from Dubster (
) is now rumbling after some decent spirited driving. Subaru had it in last week for the front lower arm recall and said the brakes are shot.
Now, they're probably not shot but I do think they're rumbling a bit more than I'm happy with. Car currently has Black Diamond Combi Front Disks and Predator pads.
So - did a quick search and not found anything conclusive of where to go so appreciate any advice!
Thanks,
Si.

I have just replaced my 2004 WRX pads and discs with some Godspeed kit. Excellent quality, a great price and very quick delivery. Worth a look on the website ....

Wilky do you have 4-pots? My WRX has the red 2006 calipers which I believe are 4-pots with 292mm discs and 287mm rear discs with 2-pots.
What setup did you get from GodSpeed as their pricing seems competitive?!
Thanks,
Si.

Hello Si,
These are the pad shapes for the WRX 4-pot/2-pot calipers-
Front
Rear
And these are 293mm discs,
These are very high quality motorsport components originally developed for Group N rallying.
The 2 piece design uses our patented V2 mounting system with the following benefits over a one piece disc –
The rotors use our slotted design which offers effective cooling, debris clearing and improved bite.
These are not just aftermarket replacement parts they’re a genuine motorsport upgrade
This is to fit the WRX 4-pot Calipers, hats have both 5x100mm and 5x114.3mm PCD’s to fit older and newer cars and they will fit under 15” wheels.
Please let me know if these components are of interest to you and I can send you pricing information, we have everything in stock and are offering a 10% discount to ScoobyNet members.
For further information please feel free to email, PM or phone.
Best regards,
Charlie

- Saves weight
- Reduces brake fade through retaining less heat
- Prevents warping due to thermal expansion
- Reduced noise through less amplification of pad squeal.
- Also once worn down the bell can be retained and only replacement rotors are required.

Yeah mate, I have a 2004 WRX so have the standard four pots. I went for these .....

with a set of Kevlar pads. Godspeed also provided me with a set of refurbished four pot calipers on an exchange basis. I am really happy with the results. I don't plan to take the car on a track, but for 'fast road' driving they seem to do the business. Really good value for money, and Ian also gives excellent advice.
Cheers,
Wilky.
