Brakes 4 pots and 2 pots
I've just changed to Brembo's on my Type R and now my Subaru brakes are for sale.
I changed the front discs and pads last year, but was never happy with the performance afterwards. So I had the calipers (front and rear) overhauled with new seal kits. Still the performance was not upto scratch so I bought some Green Stuff pads and still it was not good enough! I then went out and spent a small fortune on Brembos. They were fitted yesterday and they're great. The garage who fitted them told me the problem I had before was down to pad material!!! AAAAAGGGHHHHH. Anyway, I'm not changing back so I'm selling my front and rear calipers and discs.
Front: Overhauled 4 pot calipers with new Black Diamond discs with Green Stuff pads. The discs have done maybe 500miles. Calipers maybe 300miles since the overhaul. I will provide the Green Stuff pads, but I'd recommend changing them for something better - even original Subaru pads are MUCH better IMHO.
Rears: Overhauled 2 pot calipers and standard original discs. Discs have some surface corrision as the cars not been used much over the last few years (5000 miles in 3 years). There's still plenty of life in the discs. Pads will need to be replaced as they have started to break up.
I'm open to sensible offer for either pair or for the whole set. Remember, the front discs are as new and all calipers have been overhauled. New pads (front and rear) are recomended.

£150 + P&P - provisionally sold. I'll let you know the total tomorrow. Thanks
I'm in Aylesbury, Bucks. If you're close, you could always collect (the fronts as rears provisionally sold to T5OLF)
Fronts still available at the moment.

If nobody wants these I'll put them on Ebay over the next few days..........
Just to mention, the fronts are still for sale. They have almost new discs and the calipers have been overhauled recently. At £300 they must be a good buy????? If you don't think so, let me know what you think they are worth.

Grrrrrrrrr, why do people agree to buy things and then drop out of the sale. I agreed to sell these brakes and removed from Ebay. I even agree to deliver them to him, get his address and then I get, my engines blown I can't buy them now.
So, I have to relist them and pay the Ebay fee's again. Come on folks, if you want to buy them fine, but don't change you're mind and cost me money.
Rant over...........
