Advice needed on big parts list from Subaru!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
My car has been off the road for a while and needs the following parts: new Clutch, three new Struts (but I think I may as well get all four done), new Front and Rear Discs and Pads, plus a couple of other minor things.
It is a stock (265 bhp) 2002 STI Prodrive at the moment but it should be closer to 320 by the summer.
I was hoping someone could give me advice on alternative parts to Subaru (i.e. AP racing, Brembo, etc...) that I should get, or are the Subaru parts the best buy. I want Peformance Friction Front dics but they don't do rear ones and I think it might look odd with two different discs on the front and back. I've got around £3000 to spend.
Any advice would be most appreciated.

Other than PF disks and matched pads to get any improvement in braking you're looking at K-Sport or AP brake kits really, K-sport for about £900 front £7-800 rear APs from £1-1.5k front similar for rears!
I'd go for PF on the front and good aftermarket disks/pads (DS2500) on the rears.
If you need 3 struts either get all 4 (KYB AGX are popular) with a set of lowering springs (Prodrive or Eibach come reccomended) or a set of coilovers (BCs are good value).
Have you uprated the ARBs yet, 22 front 24 rear whitelines with uprated droplinks and an anti-lift kit is popular.
For your clutch I'd speak to David (APi) about his API/Excedy stage 1s (consider a lightened flywheel)

Cheers for the advice, you've given me alot to think about. I'm so happy to finally be getting the car back on the road. I was so depressed I couldn't even think about it before but I got my student loan through (meant for lving costs) and it is all getting spent on the car. Any other advice would be aprreciated.
