Purdy new coilovers too...

Hey, I saw those on yahoo japan the other day - they're covers you can put over your 277mm brakes to make em look like Brembo's aren't they? they look so real!

[DWBN]

bwahahahahaha


if that's true




























and by that I mean I want some

[mitch]

Purdy new coilovers too...


oh those coilovers are evil, aren't they rich! :wink:

Where abouts did you get them from? What size rotor to they use?

[Staggs]

ahhh makes sense now, looking good Geach.

How do they compare to the old 2pots you had on there?

[Mickey]

Are they off a subaru?
Or something else?
What size rotors?

[Rippo]

Are they from the guy who had them on a GC8 wrx and there off a Porche and they were adapted or something?

look the goods thou.

[rs guy]

mmmmmmmm there pureeeeeeeedyyyyyy :)

[Billsy]

let me just say these are Massive. something like 332mm. and they are probably lighter than the 294mm brakes.

its a genuine brembo kit and they were off of a BG5 GTB before geachy got them

[yods]

Pftt installation woulda been easy

What size rims does Geach have?

[mitch]

[93GTLegacy]

[hendo]

Do I get another carton of beer for finding these too?

[Hodgey]

Geach, what car did they originally come from?

Hendo, by the sounds of it you're Geach's parts bitch!! First you find him the wing, then some new brakes, whats next on the list?

[rs guy]

hendo has all the sweet hook ups :wink:

[hendo]

what car did they originally come from?They are a generic Brembo caliper with Brembo rotors and a Brembo mounting kit to suit a BG5.

[smoov]

[mitch]

Damn this uni student crap, I can't afford performance parts for my own car anymore :(

hahaa sucked in :P , oh wait :(

[bosc0]

The B4 rims don't fit over 4pots do they, let alone STI brembo's... still the generics will be a good upgrade!

[Hodgey]

Thats correct Jake. Geach wasn't able to get Subaru 4 pots or STI brembo's as his rims won't fit over them.

Even still, these brakes look pretty big under 17's.

EDIT - I stand corrected! See below

[Mickey]

Those B4 wheel fit over 4-pots.
Seen them on many b4's.

They are a better upgrade though.

mine are a brembo gran turismo big brake kit to suit 93-00 wrx's, which comes with:
2 piece brembo disc with billet aluminium hat and full floating 328x28mm rotor (STi is 326x32mm) - your choice of drilled or slotted
4 pot 'lotus style' brembo caliper
brake lines (mine were cut)
brackets to suit hubs.
pads
