new age sti brembo calipers and discs will bolt straight onto your car. the only problem being you limited to certain wheels which will have clearance for them. ive got them on my 98 impreza and the brakes are unbelievable.:thumb:

Not 100% fact there mate, some of the newer STI,s have a different PCD so the calipers will fit but not the discs! He will need a PCD of 5X100 for his model year not 5x114.

Hi there, im going for the godspeed 335mm kit in a few months. It can be got from this fella below:

Godspeed Motorsport Home Page (http://www.godspeedbrakes.co.uk/home.htm)

He sold me a set of recon'd 4 pot calipers a while back which were brilliant value for money, and the 335 kit he offers uses these 4 pot calipers with spacers/bigger discs and bells etc, so no point in upgrading the calipers if i dont have to. :norty: :norty:

Heard a lot of good reports about this kit, if ur not wanting a mad track setup i think they would suit u well....only thing is u will need a set of 4 pot calipers as well!!:confused:

Ive been doing a bit of research into brakes, looked at depth into the godspeed kit, after a few chats with people that had them they seem a good kit but they all said they take a long time to Warm up! They have now gone over to the Ksport 8pot 330mm kit which is slightly more expensive by around 200quid but look what you get! One guy has claimed that they work better than his AP set up he had on a previous car. But each to their own product just a thought to look at!
