Fee Posted January 30, 2007 Posted January 30, 2007 busy refurbing the calipers now... a few pistons were very sticky... one was jammed solid (had to bash it free with WD40 and mallet/wood) For reference..... If you are looking for a caliper service kit just buy it from Subaru UK... half the price of online sellers etc! Ebay etc is £22 for 1 caliper kit. Subaru was £20 for kit containing seals etc for both front calipers! gave the calipers a good soak in hot soapy water and then through the dishwasher LOL seemed to clean them up quite well! painting them up now just ordered some pagid RS 4-2-1 pads for the front.
wrxmania Posted January 31, 2007 Posted January 31, 2007 Hey Fee - they look very similar to mine when I done them before Christmas -
st3ph3n Posted January 31, 2007 Posted January 31, 2007 Looking good. Nice to see people taking some pride in their cars.

craig79 Posted January 31, 2007 Posted January 31, 2007 Hey Fee - they look very similar to mine when I done them before Christmas - How did you do your lettering ?? I used a smooth spongy thing, didn't come out as neat as that though - well done mate[]
Fee Posted January 31, 2007 Author Posted January 31, 2007 hardish foam radiator roller. Just make sure you take your time and roll softly, press too hard and you'll have to get the black out again.
wrxmania Posted January 31, 2007 Posted January 31, 2007 They're the same pads as mine too!!!!!!! Getting paranoid now. I painted the whole caliper black and then using a piece of sponge, wiped off the paint to re-expose the white underneath - I cleaned them thoroughly with brake cleaner first though. Brian []
