Sti brakes anyone??

[Evil.soup]

I drive an 06 WRX and the brakes are fried. Since i have to relace the discs and pads i thought i would replace the whole system with Brembo's from a new or almost new Sti. The only trouble is i cant find any. Can anyone help??

Cheers,
Ian

CW 42, iv missed them, but thanks for the heads up, im gutted!!

Rill, welcome to the forum mate! Not sure if the disks alone will fit with the WRX callipers, and i wanted to replace the whole system with Brmbo's since im paying the labour to take them off. Cheers all the same.

The car never goes on the track, but i have been on a couple of scoobynet and PH runs through Brecon. Its not high speed stuff but lots of twisties so the brakes take a bashing.

Iv got a budget of £600 for the full set front and back. Just missed a full set on Scoobynet for £450!!

6 pots would be nice but out of my price range.

New wheels are already sorted. I have replica 18" WR1 wheels on the car so the Brembos should fit behind them nicely.

Are you planning on selling them then?

Im guessing that you have the original callipers or have you sold those???

A Local Breakers near to me sell Brembos £550 for fronts or £800 for the complete set of Fronts and Back.

I have spoken to these but £800 is out of my price range.

Cheers anyway mate!

have you checked ebay?

Not today, but i am meeting a local lad tomorrow who has just replaced his Brembo's with AP's. Hopefully they will be in good shape, i know they have only covered 16K so they should be!

I will let you know how i get on.

brakes are one of the best mods that you can make to a car imo. you can spend all the money you like making the car go faster, but what's the point if you can't slow down to get round a corner?

Couldn't agree more...very well said that man!

I agree too!

I havent spent any money on power mods but have had the handling sorted. When out on a run with another Impreza in standard form my car was quicker, and i dont think it was my driving skills that made the difference!!

Power isnt always the way forward!

just ordered myself some new stoppers 330mm 4 pot kit

Congrats!!

Yet to get mine fitted, hopefully next week!!

Just £450 for the full set front, back and discs from an 06 Spec-c with just 16k on it!!!!

Still havnt had them fitted yet though

Best place to find them would be Scoobynet, someone was selling a set in the Wales section not so long ago but may be sold now. Worth a look though!
