Which Brakes?
 

Hi all

Need to upgrade discs and pads on front of 94 WRX Import.

I have 17" and was told that i should increase the disc size due to this. Have massive amount of vibration during braking at the mo'. Think the discs are warped. Still has standard set-up all round.

Anyway, without spending stupendous amounts of cash to upgrade, what set-up would give me a nice balance between performance and cost?

Any help would be much appreciated.

thanks all

I have a 96 wrx import and have just purchased a nice set of brembos with 335mm discs braided cables and ferodo ds2000 pads from Ian godney at £850 in a group buy. ian will still take orders in the group buy (i Think). see the group buy forum and look under brembo group buy.

cheers

big sinky

alternatively if you can get a second hand set of subaru 4 pots. but then they are like rocking horse poo.

Option 1
Get some second hand subaru 4 pot callipers, try for sale secrtion on here/post on wanted sectioin or breakers yards like grade-a. Bigger diameter Standard discs to suite the new callipers (296mm I think) or grooved if you can afford it with some pagid pads. These pads are not the cheapest but they are very good (£100+). Braided hoses are good if you can afford it too (£50-£60 a set)

Option 2
Godspeed do various kits from £500 upwards. They are pretty good I had a set of the brembo 308mm kit very good once bedded in stop you from 3 figure speeds no problem.

Option 3
If you are on a real budget try just the braided hoses new discs and a set of upgraded mintex/ferodo pads and some nice clean brake fluid.

There's a set of 335mm discs WITH the subaru four pots in the classifieds, get there now!!

Thanks guys

you have given me some good options. Much appreciated. Just need to see how much the kiddie will sell his set-up for. Fingers crossed hehehe
