mctwistuk Posted June 30, 2013 Share Posted June 30, 2013 Big thanks to these guys for doing a top notch job on changing my rear discs and handbrake shoes today. It did get a bit worrying when they took out a sledgehammer but all was good in the end. Even got a clutch and brake fluid change as well. Would definitely recommend their services Thanks again guys Chris Link to comment
g1983 Posted June 30, 2013 Share Posted June 30, 2013 The sledgehammer was only needed to stop Chris talking Anytime mate. Link to comment

mctwistuk Posted July 7, 2013 Author Share Posted July 7, 2013 Very nice guys. What did you guys use to get this looking so low? Link to comment
scoobywho Posted July 7, 2013 Share Posted July 7, 2013 We got a jaeger in and filled the chassis with concrete lol Its fitted with full sti struts and springs from a hatch, we carefully used a microfische to analyze the fittings and bolted them up Link to comment
g1983 Posted July 7, 2013 Share Posted July 7, 2013 26 degree heat. Don't forget the rear discs and pads. Link to comment
RnB Posted July 8, 2013 Share Posted July 8, 2013 Have to say a huge thanks as well. Brakes are looking good. Also went above and beyond changing the checking over the car and changing clutch fluid etc. Cheers guys!' Link to comment
scoobywho Posted July 8, 2013 Share Posted July 8, 2013 Cheers aaron, has the offside cured like I thought Link to comment
RnB Posted July 8, 2013 Share Posted July 8, 2013 I think so. It seems to be freeing off, not 100% yet but it's getting there. If it doesn't improve I'll give you a shout and get it back over to you. Should be ok though. Link to comment
scoobywho Posted July 8, 2013 Share Posted July 8, 2013 Might need a bed in just hild the footbrake and pump the handbrake if not we will adjust it Link to comment
The Don Posted July 8, 2013 Share Posted July 8, 2013 Took the Fozzy for a run through some twistys after sorting the minor clearance issue. All good with minimal body roll and no longer pitches & dives under the fast/slow pedals . Cheers for helping out guys . Just needs an adjustment to the handbrake or for the shoes on new discs to bed in a bit? Phil, Two possible problems you may encounter.......... A saggy butt and a possibility of the rear upper control arms hitting the chassis rails if car fully loaded going over bumps. Rear Subframe spacers available from the US. Changing the control arms for the "bent" STi/WRX version helps with clearance. Link to comment
