Godspeed will sell you a set of 'wrx' 4pots discs pads all brand new for 300 quid

  • Author

Is that the whole lot included, calipers, pads, discs for both rear and front? Is there an advert somewhere or pics?

  • Author

ok thank you. Why won't that clear under 16? it's under 300 mm, I've seen a guy who has ford Fiesta and his brother put the brakes from Mondeo V6, 300mm to 15 inch FIESTA. I've seen it with my own eyes -)

Can you show me the pics of how the late classics looks like?

The price is pretty good, however I need all 4 ideally and was not after the brand new...


  • Author

Is anyone tested them? cause it's a fake copy isn't it not original calipers? Are they need good in terms of reliability?

Where can I source the rear calipers, as mine needs replacing really or rebuild, but I would rather replace and get a spare set.

Sandals has had them on his impreza for a while now as his original subaru ones died,

It's the spoke shape and offset

That stops them from clearing, on the 16" foz rims

Yup, only issue with them is my brembo pads have a little room to move on the pins... so they clunk when braking (only in reverse tho)

Feel just as good as the standard calipers

  • Author

It's a pity about standard wheels though... probably the actual wheel design then, With some aftermarket wheel they will fit with 16 inch for sure.


It's to do with the offset and width of the wheel. Early cars were designed using 2 pot brakes so didn't need wider or a different offset. Later cars needed the extra space for the larger 4 pot.




My standard wheels are 16 inch. Clears 4 pots.
  • Author

Right, I see. Can you share your offset please and whatever is written on the actual wheel when you get a chance?

Thank you!

Impreza & legacy offset +55

Forester +48

Not sure on the width of impreza rims possibly j7 ?

Any luck?

  • Author

Do I understand correctly that the bigger the offset the better for the 4 POT installation? or is it vice versa?

More the shape of the wheel, oem 17" rims from foz xt with +48 clear 4's fine

Well 17 should clear 350mm easy not 294mm -) 300mm can be cleared by 15 inch.....

I see your point though. Offset makes the difference here as well.

It's not the size of the disc that create interference with 4 pots. It's the width of the caliper.

Didn't get a chance to get the reasons off the wheels. It's in again this weekend for more work I'll try again.

was a 2 pot conversion kit for 150 on a facebook page this morning but cant find it 

  • Author

I see. I did rear calipers rebuild today, also mechanic was using rather dodgy grease, since it had no name on the can, but he said if it's starts leaking he'll fix them for free, so that was a relief -)

Still got old discs and pads though, they're ok, but I want to put good mintex pads at the back and I need to find them first.
