Wheel was balanced by Wilkinsons Suspension. They probably drove the car.

Rich told me he was told about the space saver, was probably not explained properly... Just a misunderstanding.

Just said it had Brembo conversion, probably would not fit - Obviously big brakes on front, so tried rear thinking it might work. Space saver went on, but didn't turn.

Brembo's say no, clutch says maybe.

Got some scratch marks on the top face of the rear brembo, not visible thankfully, so this backs up what happened.

Still impressed with how well the the paint was matched and repaired the graze.

Might as well pull the space saver out and save the weight!

Would have been nice for them to tell me what actually happened when i grabbed the car, that is all. Us Subaru PWRX owners are pretty onto our cars when they aren't right as per another thread going at the moment.
