Default New brakes at last.

Finally got me new brakes, discs and pads fitted.
Painted by me with hammerite. Forgot to take a pic before they went on, sorry!


Only thing now is I still have red rear calipers.

The WRX Pro calipers do not have stainless steel pistons. I ran some whilst I refurbished my Subaru ones. They felt the same though to be honest.

The biggest change in braking performance has come from the Godspeed grooved discs and kevlar pads all round. Brake feel is now very positive, even when just using them gently around town.

Very impressed and a bargain for the money.

Always look nice having a decent set of calipers I think

Ran the Godspeed grooved discs/Kevlar pads and with the stainless steel pistons they stopped extremely well

Now moved onto Brembos with the same package
