That's exactly what I've got on the way! Got them for 9 quid delivered from an ebay seller

Nice, wasn't sure if it was a silly idea or not! I'll give this a try later in the week when i'm not working and report back!

aaaaaaand the clunk is back... must be working a little loose after fitting... I'll try with my new caliper pins and metal plate and see if that resolves it...

Welcome to the club!

Hey guys, some of you know that I've fitted an STI scoop to my WRX. Noticed that even tho the bolts are tight it still has a little movement ever so slightly. I think this is caused by the foam seal that goes on the underside which has pretty much perished. What would a suitable replacement be? I've got some thin foam draught excluder, would that do the trick? Ideally want it to stop wobbling and stop water getting in that way!

Me too!! I was dreading having to spend more money... just find it funny that the garage couldn't find any issue and I immediately found movement in the pads!

Cheers Savage, I'll get onto my garage on Monday and get them to sort it as it was them that supplied the calipers!!

Reseated my brake pads and got rid of the clunk... however, noticed that one of my caliper pistons is missing a metal ring, no clue how important it is! Pic is in my other thread...

Fixed! It was the brake pads... when I held them I was able to wiggle them slightly, so took them out checked everything and reseated them, seemed pretty solid, went for a drive and no clunk! I did however notice that one of the pistons is missing a metal ring, see pic below... it's the bottom right piston. Anyone know what it is and should I be worried?

After a lot of googling... it seems this is a surprisingly common issue and it mostly points to brake pads. Apologies for righting that off so quickly!! I've ordered a new set of caliper pins because they are pennies so will give that a shot, could be because my old calipers were genuine subaru ones and the new ones are WRX Pro so could have a little bit more room for manouvre?

Of drop links? Think these are the ones on my front... http://scoobyworld.co.uk/catalog/product_info.php?cPath=39_274_322_345&products_id=2640

Are you sure it was for your model? Mine was very easy to install... :D

I would imagine so... my brakes used to squeel but that has gone now. I'll give the drop links a shove and see if it clunks. Cheers for the input guys!

Def not the brakes, the calipers were replaced but the discs and pads were not (pads are brembo) as they were replaced in January. They did point out a few months ago that there was a small amount of play in my anti-roll bar bushes... could be that?

Just get my calipers replaced yesterday and then today I am getting a clunking sound whenever I put my foot on the brake, I put it down to the brakes since they had just been sorted so dropped by the garage and they looked at it immediately. After them looking at it for the best part of an hour, checking various parts, cleaning various bits and couldn't find anything wrong, they seem to think it is suspension related. It doesn't knock when going over bumps or anything, only does it when I apply the brakes. It's booked in for a week on Monday but it would be greatly appreciated if anyone has any ideas so I can jack the car up and wiggle bits to see if I can replicate the clunk!

In what way is it bad design?

Who's doing your remap?

Black and red gets my vote :D

Front calipers now replaced, a nice shiny silver!! Will need to paint them now as they make my back ones look grotty! Fitted my PIAA wipers as well... just as the sun comes out!

Welcome to the club! I've used chips away before and are very good... you can email them a picture and they will give you a quote! https://www.chipsaway.co.uk/

If you're willing to do it and take some pics I'm sure it will help some people out!

Out of curiosity... what does the JDM cluster have that the UK one doesn't?

Yeh that might've helped!! Yeh you could sell it or just install it... stiffens up the front a little :D

If it's real carbon fibre i'm sure it will be worth at least 50 quid... weird how the plates are removed. Are they possibly still installed on the top of your strut towers?

Fife, near Dunfermline. I use Scoobyworld or scooby parts. There are always bits for sale in the classifieds on here as well!
