4 Pots on to BG Legacy

[GT_Head]

I am in the process of swapping the original 2 pots for 4 pots and have encountered a problem. They bolt up fine but where the brake lines attatch to the back of the calipers I can't get it to seal properly.

Should the original brake lines bolt straight in to the back of the 4 pots or will i have to get sti brake lines.

Car is a BG5A TT Legacy

the originals should bolt on, have you made sure you have the copper washers in there?

[GT_Head]

Yeah. have the copper washers. they look a little bent. New ones are going to be next port of call tomorrow.

[zarnah]

could be your problem, doesnt take much for them to leak

[Guest keltik]

Gotta have the hose on the right way round and will need to make sure your using new copper washers

[zarnah]

oh yeah and im sure you're not as stupid as me, but make sure the calipers are on the right sides, they are imposible to bleed up when they are on the wrong side and upside down lol ;D

[GT_Head]

Sweet, thanks. Will get some fresh new washers tomorrow and some more fluid, lost a bit during trasplant procedure. Just to be safe should the bleeding bolt? whatever its called, be on the top or the bottom of the caliper??

[Guest keltik]

Are you running aftermarket rims?

No, I have the 16" factory STI wheels off an Impreza at the moment but won't be for long. I want a set of split spoke 17" GTB wheels.

Hehehe you poor bugger. Say goodbye to your brake pads

[funkytown]

yer man.. those look Znoelli S12's right...

pads are going to be like fingers through a cheese grater. awesome stopping potential though.. and never warped or got screechy brakes once

[GT_Head]

Yeah they are s12's and I am aware that they are going to eat pads like a t-rex!! I can't wait to get on the track with them though... on the zonelli website the s12's are apparently for the 'track enthusiast'....... sweet.

I got the whole lot as a package for a steal so I'm not to concerned. Pads are about the same price as the ones for original 2 pots anyway so other than having to purchase more frequently its a small compromise for the for superior stopping power!!

so i wouldnt say superior stopping power.. i would say resistance to warping and heat build up.. could be argued less fade is superiour i guess
