V6 STI brake help/info

[AdamOst]

Ok I just bought this car which as far as I understand comes with 4pot front brakes, single pot rears. If i chuck some decent fluid in it and something like Bendix ultimates/those ferrodo ds2500 or whatever they are pads will this be good enough for mainly weekend spirited driving, and 3-4 trackdays a year, either taupo or hamptons.

Stock power levels for now, and probably wont be changing much there for quite a while apart from a full turbo back exhaust, more focussing on handling. Is it worth upgrading the rears to the twin pots if possible? or will the rotors i have been fine with better fluid/pads?

thanks in advance. Nice to be back in a suby again, my old CS account seems to have either gone missing or lost to an old email address.

what you're suggesting will do just fine. No real need to upgrade the rears.

And welcome back.

Cool, thanks. I guess i can do that for now and if i have any problems upgrade to slotted discs etc later on. I just didnt want to turn up and find I get brake fade by lunch like I had the first time i took my toyota to taupo, and i assume ill be hitting speeds quite a bit quicker than my 4age trueno on the main straight.

I have been told to get one of those PBMS baffled sump things for HD, although I also got told if i double apex the sweeper i should be ok. Im probably looking at doing taupo first then HD at a later date, but will keep it in mind.

I see the sump is ~250$, is there much of a labour cost to get them installed?

you can do it with engine in. Just need to loosen the engine mounts and jack it up about an inch. It would be worth doing.. a $250 sump compared to a few grand for a rebuild... Do it when you do your next service or something?

[AdamOst]

Right, where i read you could do it with engine and jacking engine up a bit I thought they meant with an engine hoist? If i can do it witha normal jack/tool etc then thats sweet.

[ADIKT]

just stick a bit of wood between the jack
