Bugeye Brakes
 
Sorry to ask this question but I have searched the subject and to be honest I cannot see/find a clear cut answer - most if not all threads mix up discussions too much and I get lost in debates.

So, if anyone doesn't mind answering what I feel is a simple question but only on the 2002 Bugeye WRX please!

I have had the pads changed to Pagid (found these on the forum to be a good pad for fast road and some track work), braided hoses and fluid changed to RBF Motul (again found on forum as a recommendation).

I had the above done by local garage and the removed pads were in fact Brembo. I had this done as I got massive brake fade on a country road after picking the car up and assumed the pads were knackered but they aren't - like new they are!

Anyway, what recommendations can anyone offer for this model?

discs are grooved but don't know what make and calipers are operating fine.

thanks in advance....

front brembo calipers will do a whole lot better mate

Changing the fluid to dot 5.1 will help on wrx brakes but as said sti brembos will be your best bet :thumb:

Brembos on the front bud, bear in mind those stock wrx wheels wont fit
