Hi has enyone heard of or has fitted budwig 4 pot calipers to thair subaru seen a good deal on eBay but never heard of that make

I think its Budweg and I believe they are to brakes as remoulds are to tyres they 'remanufacture' calipers so effectively a refurbished unit with new seals etc

 

Not used them myself but if it is a used set of calipers they may need a service anyway dependant on condition

Thats a good price all in particularly if your brakes are shot / seized and discs worn, it would get you back on the road.

 

my 2p I would think about the type / style of driving you do - if you give it stacks on a regular basis and dont need it addressing immediately I would take a slower upgrade route - start with braided hoses then do discs and pads then do calipers improving the existing - but l do love winding it on and always like to know the brakes and tyres are going to scrub it off sharpish
