Default New brakes fitted..what do you think :)

finally got round to replacing the front brakes on my 05 widetrack STI.. not run in yet but I can already tell they are SO much more powerful than the brembos. the main thing that surprised me is how much smaller and lighter the calipers are even though they are 6 pot.

yeah i did (high five) got the last set too..I think they forgot the deal was on the site and when I ordered they quickly pulled it from Ebay and off their site.

easy job to fit them too, took me about an hour in total, then another 20 miins to bleed them properly...make sure you follow the procedure 100% or you will have to do it twice....like me
