hey all, i have a 05 wrx and recently had a stage 1 power upgrade. can anyone recomend a decent set of performance brakes??? cheers

 

AP's, K sports, Brembo (could be issues with the calipers clearing the wheels though).
How much do you have to spend and what size wheels do you have (ie have you gone up from the 17's to 18's for instance?)

yeah ive gone up to 18's. not got a huge amount to spend, prob about £500.

 

just in budget for a set of used brembos, best you gonna get for that price, you won't regret fitting them.

 

Any recomendations other than ebay???

Cheers

 

oh and ill soon be up to around 320bhp so want something that will cope with that, not asking for much lol

 

HI
I can supply you our 335mm kit that will retain your existing calipers , in the kit is our 335mm x 32mm 2 piece grooved discs and alloy bells , larger than standard pads in either Ferodo DS2500 or the new Bluestuff compound , mounting brackets and fitting kit , I can supply you this kit for £550 , and it will take any abuse you want to throw at it on the road or track

Pick up some used Brembos, good calipers and they use a good sized disc. Easily within budget.

 

Yes brembo's are another option , but , if you buy standard discs and pads they wouldn't really be up to the job of hard driving or track days which is why the STi guys upgrade the discs and pads , a decent set of grooved discs and performance pads will be around £250.
Factor that on top of buying the Gold brembo's and it will work out over budget.

 

cheers for the advise. Ian, what make are the discs?

 

Hi
The 335mm discs are our own make , we make everything in this kit bar the pads
Cheers Ian

 

nice one, will call tomorrow.
