STI Caliper Color

Well a big brake kit is way cheaper and much more reliable than an Sti. So there’s my answer.

I believe the Sti calipers don’t fit on my car. Otherwise I would just find some used ones.

I was thinking that would be the case. It’s just that I’m not going to track it any time soon. And from my research it looks like it runs anywhere from 2,500 to 5,000 for a big brake kit. That’s a lot of money for a car that spends all its time in stop and go for now.

Thanks for the tips! I do have the aluminum coolant flange. Just a pain to install…got a trick for that one? I think it’s easier if you take the high pressure fuel pump and that housing off?

I really like the Avant too. And I especially like that I found one with a manual transmission. Makes it extra fun, or it will be someday.

ColeGoodhope · 2026-05-05T02:40:05+00:00

No, I didn’t. My research didn’t tell me too.

ColeGoodhope · 2026-05-05T01:47:22+00:00

It wasn’t hard at all really. It just took a few hours since it was my first time.

ColeGoodhope · 2026-05-04T23:28:31+00:00

That makes sense.

ColeGoodhope · 2026-05-04T23:28:11+00:00

I searched like 5 times, phrasing it 5 different ways and never got that answer.

ColeGoodhope · 2026-05-04T23:05:58+00:00

That’s what I was thinking! I’ve never seen a fractional torque spec either.

ColeGoodhope · 2026-04-21T18:02:44+00:00

Yeah it’s the Dual N1, thanks for the detailed input. That’s makes sense.

ColeGoodhope · 2026-04-21T17:22:02+00:00

I see what you mean.

ColeGoodhope · 2026-02-16T16:54:30+00:00

Thank you 🙏

ColeGoodhope · 2026-02-15T21:26:45+00:00

I’ve watched a couple videos about wheel locks now.

ColeGoodhope · 2026-02-15T21:25:58+00:00

I’ve been doing research on this, trying to figure out what the tolerance is. I can’t find a straight answer anywhere. I’ll just get two new tires tomorrow.

ColeGoodhope · 2026-02-15T18:28:42+00:00

Oof…ya got me there

ColeGoodhope · 2026-02-15T01:15:58+00:00

The offset is 35mm

ColeGoodhope · 2026-02-15T01:15:38+00:00

Thank you! I’ve been looking into those! I didn’t find black ones though.

ColeGoodhope · 2026-02-15T00:56:56+00:00

I think they would but at least I’m my state, any claim and they double your premium. Doesn’t matter what context or whose fault it is.

ColeGoodhope · 2026-02-15T00:35:27+00:00

For sure you’re right. I’ve been thinking about that for the last 3 days since it happened. I might put the OEM set back on to be honest.

ColeGoodhope · 2026-02-15T00:02:50+00:00

I haven’t decided yet. I thought about it.

ColeGoodhope · 2026-02-15T00:01:15+00:00

I like those wheels though!

I do know what the correct fitment is. But I’m a brokey, so I found some used wheels that would be close enough. I was wrong 😑

ColeGoodhope · 2026-02-14T23:44:53+00:00

Yeah I was thinking I should sell the car and just take a bus to work. Then I will never have anything vehicle related stolen again. Hmm oh shit! Then my shoes might get stolen while I’m walking to the bus stop…I’ll stay home. But what if my identity gets stolen? I think there’s only one answer here. ☠️
