Hello guys,

got my scooby last night, have to say she goes well but theres a few small things i wanna get done before tracking it, but the first has to be a big brake kit! the standards are poor lol i think my works fiesta drums work better lol

So what BBK would you guys reccommend for track and road use?

Cheers,
ash

what size alloys will they fit under? I think mine has an aftermarket set on, but dont know anything about them.... but eventually i want to get some rota grids for road use, and leave these as track wheels so the brakes will need to fit under both...

and how would they compare price and ability wise to say an AP six pot set up?

18's mate so thinking about it probably not best for track use

maybe a set of sti brembos with decent pads/discs/fluid or the k-sport 356mm set up on offer from 1 of the traders

for decent pads/discs try godspeed or aztec as both have xmas sales on at the min

What size wheel you got? I got 18 s so use 356 mm k sport 8 pots mate work a treat if big money buy ap s . Brembo s from newage are also very good mate

the shreksta

iTrader: (20)

do the k-sport fit under 17's? wasnt there a problem getting spares for these or was that the d2's?

Ash170990

iTrader: (1)

current ones are 17's... if there is a kit that fits under 17's that would be ideal!

iTrader: (20)

probably better to find a set of sti brembos (somebody from the trader section was selling some cheap the other day) then as mentioned get discs/pads/fluid from godspeed or aztec

what pcd are you running?

Ksport 330mm kit would fit under 17's I believe, not got them myself but heard good things about them. Alot more 17 inch wheels will fit over these than the Newage Brembos.

i dont have a clue on PCD mate, dont even know what make the alloys are..... literally just got the car last night and in the ad they were detailed as 17" unmakred gold alloys lol

iTrader: (16)

Yea I agree brembo s are very good wish I went that route tbf when I brought 8 pots . Some 17 s struggle fitting over brembos as they are a tubby caliper

Andy also right

Ash you very likely have 100pcd hubs.
114 only came in starting late 2004 on STis.

Ash170990

iTrader: (1)

Cheers buddy, is there anyway i can check to be 100% sure?

iTrader: (23)

What year is your car?
Have the hubs been changed?

1999, and not that i know of....

If you want to measure the stud spacing, take any 2 adjacent studs.
If the hub is 100pcd the distance between any 2 studs will be 55.9mm
If it's 114pcd it will be 63.8mm.

My guess is you have 100pcd hubs though.

pay a bit more with ian and get his 330mm ap racing 6 pot's

Ash170990

iTrader: (1)

how much more and will they still fit under 17's?

bustaMOVEs

Or cheaper option is to get Brembo calipers and discs and since Ian is recommending ds3000 then put them pads in the brembos.
But a good combination in a Brembo set up is as good as the big £££££ toys.
Also k sport 330 will fit under 17s and will fit under wrx wheels but brembos you will need the sti wheels for clearance

kad 16v

A decent set of AP or KAD's will do the job, as will brembos with decent pads, discs and fluid albeit a little bit of a heavy caliper though. But if cash is the decider then they could be the ones to go for.

Not a fan of K sport, only heard good things about them on forums, never used a set that seemed to perform well for the price they are sold for.
