Interested to hear how you get on with the 330mm Compbrakes. I hear they're better than the 278mm ones I used to have - my smaller kit had different calipers which restricted pad choice and had bad rattle which I cured eventually.

had them on the scoob before it went up... cold there shocking but once upto temp they come into there own, which i suppose thats the norm for brake kits such has these?.

never suffered from pad rattle TBH not there a massive improvement to standard 2pots

Nice spec. and hope it survives longer than the previous two

BTW, site etiquette: No power figures unless you post the graphs

Looks good mate, needs the typical Scoob rear wing though

A lot depends on the pads, and I found both of the Hawk pad compounds needed heat to work acceptably. There are much better compromises out there, which I think will fit your calipers.

I have to be honest Gareth, I really like Impreza's without the wings. I probably would have run my old classic without one if I hadn't smashed it to bits.

Looks like a nice solid spec. As Gerry mentioned, one of the ways we make sure that there is no pub style bragging about power is to insist on dyno sheets for all BHP claims.

If you can post that up when you get the chance, that would be great. By the way, is that you looking nervous in the background :lol:
