lookin for some help and advice please lads. My front 4 pot i noticed This mornin seems to be sticking on, car felt like it was bein pulled back so checked them when i got to work and front passenger side was very hot so would i need to get them refurbished and if so where Wud u get the bits and how much roughly to do them. Also would i want to get the other one done as well in case it does the same later on
 
If doing the seals only they are about 35 euro for both front calipers. Takes a few hours to do them. If changing pistons and seals I think around 100pound plus delivery for the parts
 
If anyone is interesred i will be taking my four pots off my 03 wrx next week with new tarox drilled and groved discs and new mintex pads...... :1poke:
 
Thanks for all the help lads. Checked the Caliper last nite and one of the piston is stickin and badly pitted so think ill get the kit and refurbish the pair of them and that way it shud be a good job. I got my discs and pads of godspeed so ill give them a ring tday so thanks again lads. Cwrx gave me a loan of his 4 pots that he had on his last car so puttin them on tday so can get mine done whenever the kit comes
 
The discs are standard size just better quality drilled and groved. Not long out of the box.
