Paul_JJ Posted August 15, 2016 Share Posted August 15, 2016 4 POT brakes 294 mm (NOT brembo) + matching 2 POT rear calipers, ideally with discs to match and in good condition, ideally painted. Some SF5/Impreza sensors - part numbers can be provided. Middle section glovebox - above the Stereo Driver's side wind deflector Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Paul_JJ Posted August 16, 2016 Author Share Posted August 16, 2016 Is that the whole lot included, calipers, pads, discs for both rear and front? Is there an advert somewhere or pics? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
stants Posted August 16, 2016 Share Posted August 16, 2016 Just the fronts, won't clear 16's though unless you get some off a late classic http://www.godspeedbrakes.co.uk/impreza-ver-4-onwards-type-r/114-brand-new-4-pot-calipers-with-kevlar-pads-and-grooved-discs.html Sent from my SM-G930F using Tapatalk Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Paul_JJ Posted August 16, 2016 Author Share Posted August 16, 2016 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...

Paul_JJ Posted August 16, 2016 Author Share Posted August 16, 2016 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. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
stants Posted August 17, 2016 Share Posted August 17, 2016 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 Sent from my SM-G930F using Tapatalk Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
stants Posted August 17, 2016 Share Posted August 17, 2016 Quality good, probably made in same factory just don't have subaru on the side, These 16" clear Sent from my SM-G930F using Tapatalk Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Paul_JJ Posted August 17, 2016 Author Share Posted August 17, 2016 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. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Scoobyghost Posted August 17, 2016 Share Posted August 17, 2016 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. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Scoobyghost Posted August 17, 2016 Share Posted August 17, 2016 These are the late standard classic wheels that clear 4 pots. Disc size doesn't matter too much. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Paul_JJ Posted August 17, 2016 Author Share Posted August 17, 2016 Right, I see. Can you share your offset please and whatever is written on the actual wheel when you get a chance? Thank you! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Scoobyghost Posted August 17, 2016 Share Posted August 17, 2016 I'll have to look to be 100% sure. Wheels are off Saturday for new tyres so will snap pics then. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Paul_JJ Posted August 24, 2016 Author Share Posted August 24, 2016 Do I understand correctly that the bigger the offset the better for the 4 POT installation? or is it vice versa? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
stants Posted August 25, 2016 Share Posted August 25, 2016 More the shape of the wheel, oem 17" rims from foz xt with +48 clear 4's fine Sent from my SM-G930F using Tapatalk Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Paul_JJ Posted August 25, 2016 Author Share Posted August 25, 2016 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. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Scoobyghost Posted August 25, 2016 Share Posted August 25, 2016 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. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
quit Posted August 26, 2016 Share Posted August 26, 2016 was a 2 pot conversion kit for 150 on a facebook page this morning but cant find it Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Paul_JJ Posted August 26, 2016 Author Share Posted August 26, 2016 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.
