Default Brake Questions
Hey again guys.
Just curious where the best place to buy new brake disc's would be and a rough price, mine seem to be a little warped and are vibrating a bit when braking.
Or would it be ok to take the discs of another subaru and put them on? If i was to swap them how easy is it to swap them over?
Cheers ScottyEnglish

Piece of piss to swap over, buy new they are cheap enough. some one posted a link to a site that was really cheap for discs last week.

For the prices on that website, you'd be better off just getting new ones. Haven't done a disk swap on a Subi yet, but the brakes are easy as to do, so don't really for-see any dramas doing the disks.

Edit: I need to get some for mine, so if you let me know when you're keen to do this we can tee up a weekend and do it at my fathers workshop.

Keep in mind that the page that link goes to is for Brembo's, not WRX 2&4 pot brakes, & is US based.
