Question

I can get the subaru 4-pot calipers for £200. I think the discs and pads are extra. Is it worth it.

ANY VIEWS

Cool

Sorry you haven't had more replies to this, as I am considering the same myself.

However, its probably due to the number of times this has been asked. I think that it may be a bit subjective, but most people seem to think that the 4 pots are significantly better. From other peoples views, I'd advise changing them and adding braided lines at the same time - not much more money, and you need to bleed the brakes to fit pots or lines, so get them both done at the same time. I'm currently saving for 4 pots, GRP N disks, better pads and lines - I've had a quote of about 750 fitted..

Hope this helps,

Mark
