Actually I always wondered what the difference was between the 4pot WRX callipers and the STi brembo's. I know the brembos have a bigger disk hence bigger contact surface area, but what is the 'real' difference as in braking performance with the same compound pads in both.

the oem 4 pot is surprisingly good IMO....certainly never let me down. As long as its mated to braided lines, good pads and good fluid they are pretty decent.

Tarox also do a 12 pot kit for the Impreza....derived from their Lambo range !

Big discs on an alloy ventilated bell with double pads on each side of the discs....that's 8 smaller pads up front

Hearing the cost of replacing the discs and pads can make make your ears bleed LOL

So braided lines are well worth it. What pads would you recommend, I was looking at replacing with mintex M1144's on standard disks.


Appologies for leaping on ur thread cookie - u know u'd buy one of these brake master cylinder strengthening gimo's anyway, u just cant help urself m8

funky, either what you suggest or what cookie is using are both good choices despite being dusty. Ive had both, they both worked very well.

Shaun, I do now, but have only recently removed the standard 4 pots. Ive probably done about 200 miles on the wilwoods so far so they are barely bedded in anyway!!

Well hopefully they will only be on the car a couple more months, till i can get big brake money together.

Really liked the powerstaion kit, so looks like £1900 needs to be found
