Replacement Caliper or Brakes Upgrade?

Featured Replies

Hi Everyone,

First time poster

This is my BH5 chassis GT-B on 59k km's, owned it since Jan 2023.

The nearside front caliper has a sticky/corroded piston which needs replacing. Pictured is the offside one for reference - any advice on where to find a replacement AD43T for nearside front, or should I consider an upgrade to the STI 4-pots?

Would appreciate any advice!

Located in West Sussex

The classic sti brakes are the same as the uk turbo etc. I have to say the standard 4pot brakes are pretty woefull on the classics, i ran uprated disks and pads and fried them on the isle of man in less than an hour and they never really gave much confidence.

I was lucky enough to have a set of AP 4 pots on my type r and they were night and day, depending on your budget an upgrade kit maybe a better option.

thats for a gc8 classic, but something like that would do the trick, would need to confirm fitment though.
