Parts lookuop (brakes)

Hey,

I need to change all four rotors and pads. Do the euro cars use the same hardware as the US cars (vented in front, solid in back) ?

Is there any way I can find out which parts specifically I need for my car? Subaru dealers here do not easily provide part numbers unless I deliver my car there for the actual job too.

Re: Parts lookuop (brakes)

The following partnumbers should be the correct ones for EU SVX.

The rear disks should be vented, mine is and that is a 1992 Dutch SVX.

Prices are in Euro's.

Best to look at the rear discs, as not all of the Euros had vented rear discs.

Re: Parts lookuop (brakes)

Let me guess: This can be settled by running my VIN through the Subaru FAST system?

I know the disks have been changed. Supposedly by an authorized shop. From what I have seen they look solid but I'll go and take another look

Re: Parts lookuop (brakes)

Both front and rear are vented. The vent is narrower in the rear.

I also suddenly noticed I'm running on 205/55 (studded) !! What's the effect of the missing 2 cm?
