Default brake upgrade for STi 4

Please could anyone suggest a mid level (in terms of budget) brake upgrade kit for my STi 4?

will i get anything decent for £600-800? Is it worth getting a better specced 4 pot kit? Or will i need to go 6 pot to get a worthwhile increase in braking performance?

IMHO for that sort of cash your either looking at the Godspeed big disk conversion kit a set or braided hoses and some high DOT fluid OR you could keep an eye out for a second hand set of Brembo`s or the such like. Prices for the brembo`s vary but keep an eye out for a blob eye owner upgrading their brakes as i`ve heard that they fit with a wee bit of work.

P.S If this is wrong i`m sure someone will correct me soon enough !!!LOL!!!

Had a look at godspeed, Take it you mean the 335mm kit? What size are the STi 4 brakes as standard 300mm?

anyone know the pros and cons of both the ferrado and mintex pads?

Thanks.
