I don’t understand? I sent you a link for refurbished brembos and discs at £350. Whats wrong with that?
No drilling required to bulkhead for brake stopper. Just bolts on. 30 minute job max.

it slipped under the radar.I have just sent a pm to the chap selling them.
also got a chance of calipers discs and pads for a very good price.
it will be decision time very soon.

I fitted the BrakeTech front grooved discs from Bob, grooved rear discs from Godspeed, kevlar pads from Godspeed, HEL braided hoses, 5.1 fluid and a CDF master stopper. Much much better than stock.

Unfortunately you get what you pay for. I doubt you'll get them cheaper than £350. If you spend too little you may end up spending more on new pistons, seals etc to get them working.
Good luck in your search.

the calipers were only painted not refurbed,discs wern't the best, pads shot.They had been round Donny on a track day.If and when the right ones come along i wont mind paying more.Whatever the asking price i always try to get a couple of pounds knocked off on principal.When i sell i put a few pounds on because i know the prospective buyer will try and knock my price down,

If your on a budget I’d go with a brembo setup. You can pick up a calliper & disc combo second hand for £400. make sure you get one from newage STI up to 2003 year as this will already be 100x5 PCD. If you get the later ones they will also fit but you will either need new discs or to get yours re-drilled to suit as they will be 114.3 PCD.
I have these fitted to my 06 WRX and are a great upgrade as I’m now running bigger power. Got some fast road pads from Aztec, £60 for a set. Top quality for road use if your not going to track your car.
Should also be able to sell your old setup to someone with a classic as this is a good upgrade path for them. I got £200 for my old setup so only cost me £250 odd in total.
Good luck!
