Have bought but not picked up yet some STi7 Brembos to stick on my wagon.. 2pots are way to long in the tooth and I think I am on borrowed time there.

I have STi8 wheels so covering them shouldn't be a problem..

Anyone got them fitted on a classic already? am I going to encounter any other problems?

Back plate? ABS sesnor?

Any pointers gratefully received

From what ive seen they will go on with out any problems but you will need to remove the spalsh guard.
I waited and waited for a set of STi Brembo's but non turned up so i went for the Brembo group buy, now alot of STi Brembo's are turning up for sale

Attu,

Three sets up for sale recently..

They don't seem to be selling as not many people can fit them behind their wheels.. so I got them for a good price imho..

Cheers for the info re-splash guards..

They are on.. fitted this evening.. not one problem..

Not much wheels clearance so definitly STi7 / 8 wheels required..

Same pedal feel but nearly puts me through the screen.

Very happy with them

Cheers

Superleggera 7x17" ET 48?
Superturismo """"

cheeseboy I think you would be lucky to get any other 17inch wheel to fit over them apart from the OEM STi wheels but i guess most 18inch wheels would fit.

Sorry for delay..

See here:

brembo's

I believe even some 18's won't cover them but it someone wanted to try a wheel on my car they are more than welcome etc..

I take it that the brembo calipers bolt straight on?

Oh, and what size of tyres you running?

Cheers.

Jolly Green Monster

Yes the brembo's bolted straight on..

I am running 215/40/17 Toyo Proxes TS-1.

I bought the wheels with there standard tyre 225/45/17 and sold them etc..

tut tut laying down on the job? hehe LOL,they are GR8 brakes iv got a 320bhp STI7 and have only changed the discs to DBA Gold drilled and grooved,stop even better and for the price £450ish (front and rear discs).DS2500s all round and this is a wicked brake set up.

The previous owner had trouble with those disks warping...

Might be a one off.. hopefully..

Would be nice to do the rear too.. but the car seems fairly well balanced at the moment. Might get some grooved on the back and run standard front. Will be giving the rear a clean and new pads and maybe disks as soon as I get time.

You are right they are very powerful brakes

Yes Nellie..

That is good then.. hopefully just a one off.

DS2500s are the best pads for these by a long way,had 1155s on before not to impressed then changed to ferodo and now much better.

Well Paul gave me a set of Ferodoos and Pagids.. and I got them muddled and am not sure which I am running now.. lol..
Tried them both and am running the nicer set..

I will look back through the photo's Paul emailed me to see which ones I have on there whne I get time.
