Ok, I need new brake pads for a 53 Reg UK-Type STI.

I can get the following

Part Number - 26696FE080 Impreza STI Brakes, Rear Pads SUBARU BRAKE PAD SET REAR

But then it states.

For 2004-2006 STI ONLY, includes shims & hardware

Now quick question, why wouldn't these fit my 53 model? I thought 01-07 was the same discs, calipers and pads?

Speak to Alyn at ASP trading on 0191 4103770. He's a top bloke and certainly knows his stuff on brakes, he'll sort you out.

Its the only place I get my brakes from for my 05 STI.

Wolfie.

Ok well I rang Subaru up and gave them my registration number that bought up the chassis number and confirmed that the part number above would fit my 53 STI.

Which is good as i've just sourced a set of un-used Brembo Rear pads for £25 on a quick sale which according to Subaru at £170.43 + VAT and with fitting a total price of £240.29 so at £25 i'm pleased.

Just need some fronts now
