After some new brakes for my 2007 Hawkeye sti, just had an engine build for 500bhp+ so want something suitable, making 345bhp at the minute but will be pushing higher numbers in the future after all supporting mods done, Any good places to look etc ? Only been able to find a few places with limited stock.
Thanks !

 

Alyn of ASPerformance or Ian of Godspeed,either one should be able to sort you out.SJ.

 

As above, enquire of either/both.

DO mention track time if you do any, etc.

 

Cheers fellas, I'll give them a shout and see what they can do

 

i have the AP 6 pots with 355 disc's and Ayln @ AS Performance will guide you.

 

Hi
What size wheels do you have , and what's your intended use , any track days planned , if so how many roughly per year ?
Cheers Ian

 

for that power, AP 6pots with 330mm disks if staying with 17's or bigger disks if 18's

 

There a 18" prodrive. Will be looking to do a 4/5 track days a year I would think but only do around 7/8000 miles per year in the car on the road. Thanks

 

I run a hawkeye sti (470 ) or (528) on meth ! Standard Brembos with braided hoses and disks and pads from ian@godspeed. Pads are carbon lorraine. Did cadwell with no issues .

Not much difference performance wise between AP 4 and 6 pots, so pick what suits your pocket best

 

not trying hard enough

 

 

think ill definitely go for 6 pots, just a pain in the **** trying to do all 4 wheels, you think someone somewhere would do a 4 piece kit instead either front OR back haha

 

You must be driving miss daisy ,the stock brembo set is rubbish at standard power let alone 470bhp!

 

Perhaps you missed the bit where I said the stock brakes was Awsome !! running different pads and disks !

 

Agreed, Brembos with decent pads and discs are fantastic. Certainly good enough for 500bhp on the road. (when are you going to be testing your brakes to the limit?)
On track is where bigger brakes score points for repeated hard braking.

 

THIS!!!.SJ.

 

We have a few people doing track days running brembo's with our grooved discs and CL RC8 pads with excellent results , no fade , Anyone know Chris Roberts time attack car , this is the set up he was running before his new engine blew up so he broke the car , his calipers had gone dark brown with the heat , but still worked faultlessly on the track , he was even getting asked what he was running as was outbraking everything on the track days.

The STi Brembo's can be made to work very well , and handle most drivers out there

Cheers Ian

 

Yep , as he says !
