Let the brake dust commence

I've the fronts on my WRX but with 330 discs. I've noticed a vast improvement over the standard 4 pots already and i've not done 300 miles yet!

Why did you decide to get rid of the Brembos?

Wow, that looks like an awesome set up. Be interesting to know what you think of the braking power once they are fully bedded in?

They certainly fill out those 18's!
One query - direction of the grooves. I was led to believe curved grooves lead at the bottom ie opposite to what you have, and straight grooves lead at the top ie as yours do. I seem to recall this being an AP instruction? Are yours as K-Sport recommend?

Apex got the 6 pot kit to me very quickly though
