economicpygmy 0 Report post Posted January 30, 2019 My BRZ needs a new set of front pads and discs. OE works well for my road use and they have avoided becoming corroded, so unless there are recommendations that arnt much more in price Ill replace with OE. (In the past I have purchased cheaper discs for other cars but they always corrode heavily & not interested in drilled discs). I presume the BRZ and GT86 have the same spec discs? (ventilated 295) With other cars I've been able to get OE parts cheaper but I cant find anywhere that sells OE parts for the BRZ/GT86; is this a Subaru/Toyota dealer purchase? Does anyone know who makes the OE discs? Cheers Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Kaltorak 111 Report post Posted January 31, 2019 Depending on the quote you get for OE it might be worth looking at an OE replacement like. https://www.part-box.com/d972-ebc-oe-replacement-standard-front-brake-discs-toyota-gt86-subaru-brz 1 Lucas reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Lauren 2259 Report post Posted January 31, 2019 You can just get them from Toyota. Maybe cheaper than Subaru, but not sure on that. I'd personally only use OEM discs, they aren't that expensive. As for pads there is plenty of choice in the aftermarket and a lot are quieter than the OEM ones. All UK cars are the 294mm front discs and the rears are vented.

surrey86 352 Report post Posted January 31, 2019 I think I got my rear OEM discs off a Toyota eBay shop quite reasonably. Iirc Fensport also sell them. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

economicpygmy 0 Report post Posted February 1, 2019 Thanks guys. Is there a part number lookup for Subaru? Trying to check which parts are available and if they differ with Toyota parts. Toyota discs £110.80, pads £77.00 Subaru discs £177.19, pads £127.55 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
vanko25 70 Report post Posted February 1, 2019 Try jp-carparts.com for part numbers. There is price in dollars too but I believe this is if ordering from japan. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Ill just get the Toyota parts, pads are even marked as Subaru. TBH its chicken feed after receiving the quote for the 60k service! For someone who has always serviced their own cars, 600 squid for filters, oil and plug change is great money if you can get it! I also called the Toyota dealer and they said the engine has to come out Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I've had my plugs changed twice now. Diff oil is also included in the service, make sure it is done. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Subaru of Japan sell it to subaru of Europe in the Netherlands who then sell it to International Motors, the subaru UK franchisee. This increases the cost. Toyota of Japan buy it from Subaru of Japan and send it to their UK distribution which is why it comes cheaper. Sent from my FIG-LX1 using Tapatalk Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I couldn't even be bothered to respond.... it seems because I want it serviced this year due to stamp, warranty, time, other car in bits, I have to endure shysters.
