2001 Bugeye brakes.
Hey guys
Just bought my first scooby, prob will annoy the hell out of most of ya, having zero technical skills under a bonnet (luckily my dad is a mechanic - but lives 30 miles away), Im after advise for my new car.
Right I have a bugeye with fully default engine and brakes. only mods are to the panels/bumper/spoiler/lights.
Anyway I think the first thing I want to do is sort out better brakes for the car.
What are a good, long lasting choice for a 2001 WRX Bugeye?

I'd go for K-Sport calipers/discs/PF01 pads kit.
Need at least 17" alloys though (to fit the smallest 330mm kit) :-

This is a very popular uprated disc/pad package for not much money: https://www.scoobynet.com/group-buys...-99-a-set.html
Feel free to call for other options and advice on 01462 488244

The OEM subaru callipers you have are really pretty good so no need to change IMHO.
You can either get a better set of disks and pads (see Bob's above which would be a pretty good start IMHO) or get a bigger disk conversion from Godspeed using your own callipers.
the Godspeed kit will howver tie you into a bigger kit if replacements needed.
I did both on my bugeye
