prodrive 330mm brake kit on 01wrx
has anyone had this kit fitted?
is it any good? does the kit contain just discs and calipers or does it include pads, brake hoses and revised brake balance valves etc.? |
Yep,got it on my 01WRX....
The kit includes: Braided lines Brackets Disks Calipers (Which are huge!) Pads Brakes are nice and progressive too and when you stamp on em they really haul you down from speed!! :) Some pics of em fitted to my motor here Good luck Nick |
its about time you sold them to me nick, you know I'll make proper use of them;)

I didn't initially but on heavy braking the front of the car felt like it nose dived a little and the back used to sit up so to speak so I changed the back pads too (Bought Ferodo DS2500's from Alyn at ASPerformance.com) It now feels a LOT better under similar conditions and the car seems to 'squat' when braking heavily... Si - :p |
Nice looking kit.
What are the prices like for replacement pads/disks? Dave. |

It now feels a LOT better under similar conditions and the car seems to 'squat' when braking heavily... Si - :p I've also upgraded the rear pads with some of Alyns finest pads (Textar £35) and its stopped the rear getting very light and squirming around. I was given a rough cost by the dealer of £550 for new discs and pads :eek: but will be part of the Subaru maintenance contract on mine - phew. The fronts can be substituted with DS2500 pads but I haven't heard who can do the Alcon discs. Perhaps there's an alternative bell & disc setup out there that can be used? Nick |
