    Can't remember which calipers Lauren fitted , the clio 3 calipers are the ones on the slightly cheaper kit. The clio 3 caliper kit fits under standard wheels , so i'd be surprised if they didn't fit an aftermarket 17" wheel , fit a wheel and measure the gap between the standard disc , and the...

    Hi Just to clear up any confusion , the kit for the GT86 is basically our Impreza kit , as it bolts onto these and the BRZ , what we found at a later date , was the disc on Sonics kit touched the lower ball joint on lock , the lower arm on the GT86 is a pressed steel piece and quite big , the...

    Morning You will get some noise from grooved discs The clip you see on the pad is a wear sensor , when the pads wear down to that point it makes an annoying screech sound to tell you the pads are low , quite primitive but the way a lot of pads are. You will get noises ect as everything is...

    Hi All the bells we've done on this car are the same offset , which ever caliper is used , but no one has had this issue , to save any issues in the future , we're modifying all the bells we make for the GT86 by 1.5mm less offset , will never be an issue again Will be making a new batch of these...

    Morning The first question in my mind was has it been lowered , same as Beans asked , as this will change the angle of the track control arm and cause issues , if you say no , then there must be a slight variation of the metal arms causing it to rub , we have sold aver 25 kits for the GT86 and...

    Probably the banjo bolt on the pipe is not tight enough , or a bleed nipple, turn the wheel fully , and see if you can just nip it up to stop the fluid doing any damage

    That is strange ! I cannot see how a 0.7mm difference in bell thickness can cause all these issues , if it was the bell , it would do it forwards and backwards. Sounds to me there could be play in a bush or ball joint , on full lock driving forward , the forces of the road are pushing the wheel...

    yes if anyone else is affected , we will swap the bells , but if you haven't noticed it in a 1000 miles , it's not doing it , I can't see why 0.7mm would make them rub on Sonics car , but to eliminate any doubt , i'll change them Got your rear order thanks (y) Cheers Ian
