Default MY01 WRX Brake Disc/Pad Upgrade Advice

Tries this one in the brakes section but not many takers....

My front discs and pads need replacing and rather than fit standard OE replacements I thought I'd fit something better, hopefully for around the same sort of money.

Can anyone help with advice on a good quality upgrade that'll fit my standard 4 pot calipers, I fancy grooved discs and fast road pads - anyone recommend good products and price-competetive suppliers?

Thanks.

I got EBC drilled and grooved disks with red stuff pads. Works for me. Am going to upgrade the hoses as well soon.

I've been looking at the Tarox grooved (G88) discs, anyone know anything about these or the Tarox fast road pads?

I've got Tarox stuff ...just a bit dirty.. bigger discs though LOL

unless you like cleaning your wheels a lot I'd have a word with Alyn at AS Performance - Rally Motorsport Specialists and ask about pagid (blue) brake pads with matching discs

Thanks for the advice to contact Alyn at AS Performance, very knowledgable about different brake setups and offered plenty of advice.

Due to my driving style (no track days) and budget, I settled on Pagid 421's and a set of 8 groove discs.
