  1. aye, i would be more than slightly upset if it was mine.

    For those that werent there operator exited the car whilst it was running down and car pulled to the side and off the rollers. passanger rear strap was round the back control arm and took the force with possible further bent things. :thumbup:

    japperformance are going to sort car for alan.

    It was indeed a good turn out special dedication award goes to jen for leaving skye at 4.30 am :driving:

    as for fiqures my car got 252 for an old uk with pennies spent on it so canny grumble. :angry:

    oh aye, dont know what was bigger shock alans accident or finding out how much rsrichy paid for his car. :wave::D

  2. iirc one piston was a little difficult push back and the pad was worn a little lop sided, kinda wedge shaped, that could be the culprit then, i take it you can get re-furb kits from Subaru no problem?

    sounds like that will be the one. tbh its hard to tell over forums as its a lot to do with feel. im guessing its four pots you have so you will get seal kit from subaru. i dont think they do pistons but you can get stainless steel ones from other sources but as piston was just a wee bit difficult you should be able to clean up original. get some red rubber grease too, its quite expensive for what it is but is very good. keeps it lubricated and prevents brake fluid swelling the seals.

  3. usually just one or two pistons become sticky. when fitting new pads did you notice if any piston wasnt as easy to push back. compare pads as a caliper set and see if they are worn parallel or lop sided, not between offside and nearside.

  4. I just went with blueprint brakes all round, £500 for discs and pads all round

    :D you could have had excellent materials for that amount.

    dz. as ive said before ds2500 and good new discs of your choice but not ggr ones as they are only 23mm thick when they should be 24mm new. iirc from when i had 4 pots.
