Hi all, what size should the discs be for the standard 98 4 pot calipers? 294mm or 295mm, or does it not matter? thanks

Torque your wheel nuts to about 65lbft~90nm

will a set of these in 17" fit over my alcon 4 pot calipers? : Subaru Impreza Ultralite Atec Alloy Wheels

does any one know what a good set up would be for the ocasional track day my car is an 06 STI with PPP in black ,only had it 2 weeks.

they are nice but i have my eye on something from weds sport budgie

Has anyone got the godspeed 4 pot calipers and can comment how they perform against the subaru 4 pots. 325mm kit with godspeed calipers. with ds2500 cheers for help

bttt

I had an interesting situation this afternoon. All was quiet in the office, so decided to change my brake pads on the STi. How hard could it be? Anyway, old pads out, complete with shims. Push the pistons all the way in, a healthy dose of copper grease- and the passenger side is in with a couple of tapps from a 'pursuader'. Very tight, I might add. On to the passenger side- same again, but...

Hi Guys. I'm from york but moved out to New Zealand 3 years ago. All the subaru club sites out here are s'#t so i thought i would join scooby net as i have heard a lot of positive. I own a 2003 version 8 wrx sti. Its my pride and joy. I have a question regarding the wheels i currently have. They are 19" DTM's. They are a chrome look which i was pretty unsure of at the time and still are. ...

....thinking about having a go at changing my discs & pads myself but as a bit of a novice I think I'd be a bit stuck once I got the wheel off!! I don't suppose anyone's got some kind of step-by-step diagram for the front & back brakes or even better a MY00 manual that I can download? Cheers.

am going to bleed my brakes again, think i would need 2L max, have found wilco do it for £9.99 for 1L anywhere cheaper?

Good price that, I thought i did OK with £300 fitted 215/40/17

I'm i correct in thinking that 06 hawkeye wrx pcd is the same as my 04 wrx at 5x100? Just bought a second set of wheels so i hope so

Could do with 2 or a cheap set of 4 as a spare set in Gold or Anthracite, thanks. Please PM me

Can anyone tell me what these alloys are please?: They've got 'Prodrive' stickers on them, but no other markings whatsoever.

Got myself some Brembo's :-) Just wondering if they are easily fitted by myself? I have no problems fitting Discs and pads and after all its just 2 bolts to put the new caliper on?! The only grey area is the bleeding of brakes.. never done this before. I have some braided hoses to.. wondering if this is something i should leave to a garage or have a go myself any fitting guides ...

Looking at getting some 18" wheels for my uk classic which is lowered 35mm. Will 225/35/18 tyres rub or is it safer to go for 215/35/18 (going for an 8" wide wheel btw)?
