Over the past 12 months Disc Brake Australia (DBA) have been successful in testing the introduction of a 10 stud hole pattern disc brake rotor to suit the Subaru WRX STi range of models combining two sets of PCD’s together on the one disc: 2002-2004 – disc rotor stud hole PCD (pitch circle diameter) = 100 mm 2005-2009 – disc rotor stud hole PCD (pitch circle diameter) = 114.3 mm

DBA have now combined both PCD patterns into one disc rotor.

*The benefits:*
* Universal fitting
* Eliminates variations in part numbers
* Reduced stock levels

One part fits all.

All other rotor dimensions remain the same.

HKS_52009-AK001

An oil filter which improves oil pressure drop and flow properties by approximately 30% compared to current aftermarket sports oil filters.

Most aftermarket sports oil filters to use high viscosity oil and therefore filter paper strength is prioritized whilst sacrificing absolute pressure loss properties. HKS Hybrid Sports Oil Filter has readdressed filter strength and overall structure to provide the oil flow that the engine requires and pursue HKS’ ideals in what is required from a sports oil filter.

Features

  • HKS Hybrid Sports Oil Filter has readdressed filter strength and overall structure to provide the oil flow that the engine requires and to pursue the HKS ideals in what is required from a sports oil filter.
  • New HKS oil filter improves oil pressure drop and flow properties by approximately 30% compared to standard oil filters.
  • Newly developed low resistance hybrid filter allows for low pressure loss. Engine response is improved by reducing the load on the engine.

Construction
In the interest of universal fitment, unit size has been standardized at φ68×65mm. Fitment bolt sizes are M20-1.5P and 3/4-16 UNF. Filtration performance JIS standard is 25μ whereas HKS is 20μ making the Filter compatible with most standard engine requirements.

Filter Life
Under normal usage, it is recommended that the filter is changed every 6,000 miles or 6 months. For Sports driving, the recommended distance is approximately 1/3 -1/2 of the previously mentioned figure (as the engine revolutions are several times that of normal driving). However, to maintain optimum low pressure loss properties, it is recommended to change the filter every 3000 miles when an oil change is performed.

Performance
HKS Hybrid Oil Filter’s low pressure loss properties mean that even standard specification engines can benefit from reduced engine resistance and improved engine response.

With Neuspeed‘s constant progression in the development of parts for Volkswagon it was an easy choice for us to install their aluminum rear control arms on our R32. The quality on these arms are spot on and the use of the spherical joint makes fitment perfect. With plenty of adjustment available any alignment correction will be easy. Install was a breeze and quality in the final product is amazing.
