Import Car Parts - Japanese car parts for Subaru, Nissan, Honda, Toyota, Lexus, Mitsubishi and more for the parts and fitting is urinatingly easy, if you don't think you can do them, any garage could fit them for cheap.

 

got mine from scoobybits groved and vented £230 quid .. disc and pads ....

the scoobyclinic do upgrades for £500 ish ie brembo's but give them a ring
or check on here

Scooby Clinic | The UK's Largest Independent Subaru Specialists

 

Try Zac & drew again at Precious Metals.. these guys are closer.. as is Conrad at The Racing Line...

We have some good pricing for WYIOC / SNET members emerging from the guys at PM....

 

Cheers Alan, yes just give us a call or PM me with your full car details and the type of brakes you require i.e OE subaru items or upgraded performance items such as EBC or Black Diamond and i will get back to you asap with a price including fitting

 

disks and pads a simple to change, all you need is n hour and somewhere dry...
Que Corradodoy...

 

I have neither an hour, nor anywhere dry But yes, they are very easy to do

SAP list them as....
They list OE brake pads from £14, but I'd recommend getting upgraded pads such as Pagid Blue or Ferodo DSPF. Pagids should be iro £80 and Ferodo maybe £100. If you wanna go the whole hog, get some Goodridge braided lines and replace the fluid with DOT5.1 (another £60 quid or so all in) to get the 4pots almost as good as Brembo's.

Thank`s for the reply`s,so for price Rn golden gave me for standard disks and pads i could proberly get upgraded disks and pads,so ill give Precious metals and racing line a ring for prices and see from there,scooby clinic is a bit far for me to travel i think,also were would i get instructions on changeing disks and pads,if it looks easy id do em me self!thanks guy`s

 

Pads couldn't be much easier. Jack up, wheel off, wire clip off, pins out, adjustable pliers to push pads back (remembering to remove lid off brake fluid reservoir), remove pads, slide in new (with a liberal coating of copper slip to rear and contact edges), pins back in (copper slip them), clip back in, wheel on, jack down, repeat other side, res lid on and out for a gentle test.

Discs have 1 (or is it 2 ) countersunk retaining nut(s?) that can be a biatch to get out the first time, then a sharp tap from behind sees the disc drop off. Position new one and put the retaining nut(s?) back on (copper slip again). Oh, and you need to remove the calipers 2 bolts.

 

from new my sti had No retaining screws... so once the pads were out disks just fell off...!

 

Corradoboy !! Sorry you're working Sunday... But anyway

Do you need to loosen the calipers to get the new disc in ?

{((( Read last line stupid)))DUNX }

Kojak pads take 10 minutes, not sure if disc comes off without releasing caliper bolts...... Would offer to help for a beer at Squires sometime.

P.S. have a v. small garage to hide in as well, just across the railway line from you.

Just refreshed my memory. The old Corrado had the countersunk nut holding the disc in place, Scoob ones are a closer fit and should just stay in position when the wheel nuts are removed, but if they've been off a couple of times and/or lubed with slip then they may just drop off on their own. If they are seized on then there are two small threaded holes into which a bolt can be driven to prise off the disc.

 

Thanks for offer to help fit em Dunx,im gonna get sme prices first,there`s also a place in hebden bridge so ill try there as well and thanks Corradoboy for instructions on brakes

 

Place in Hebdon Bridge is probably HDC Subaru. Howard there's a top bloke. Knows his stuff and won't rip anyone off. He serviced and repaired mine a couple of times, always happy with the work he did.

 

would reccomend import car parts without a shadow of doubt you could arrange fitting localy but these guys great for parts no matter what your after
