I've got a 1999 Uk Turbo, i want new brakes but i'm considering changing the fronts to 4pot. Any ideas, other than ebay of where to go for these?? Can anyone recommend the best discs to go for??

if you have a 99 UK car then it should already have the SUBARU 4pots fitted?? they are black with the lettering clearly visible thro' the wheels....................

if you can afford it mate, and performance is what you want-
go for AP.- the dogs doodas.
failing that- Brembo
failing that- Godspeed discs with OE 4pot calipers..
(thats in order of quality/price high to low)

Bear in mind that over a certain size of disc you will be stuck with 17's minimum.
for example; on my own car I have brembo 4 pots , 330mm discs.
17's are the bare minimum I can get away with.

you might find with OE 4pots you'll be fine on 16's and MAYBE 15's?
(not sure on that)

basically- get the best brakes you can afford

Thnaks very much people, gives me something to look into. I'd love the Brembo's but we'll see what the wallet permits. Cheers again
