Thanks Godspeed!
Got married a month ago so now I have a bit of spare cash, I decided to treat myself to some new brakes and I cannot compliment Godspeed enough!
I spoke to Ian and he was friendly and helpful. Brakes turned up fully trackable and even let me know when they will turn up between an hour.
Got them fitted and they are spot on! Few before and after pics below!

This thread title reminded me of the old Guinness posters.
So Ian you can have your new strap line on me.
'Thank Goodness for Godspeed'.

iirc it's 300 miles of normal A/B road braking then afterwards it's 5 or 6 hard braking from 70mph to 20mph (obviously only when safe to do it).
Do it once,let the brakes cool a little then do again
Give Ian a ring and he can tell you if I've remember it correctly.
Just done a few today and **** me they stop well although I'm in a classic so a bit lighter with more braking force

lol at the above 
Here is what we recommend for bedding them in
You need to bed the discs in now which will chemically cure them , this needs to be done over 300 miles of normal A and B road driving , DO NOT use the brakes hard in this time , once you have done 300 miles you can start braking from speed , brake down hard from 70 to 20 on a clear road when safe to do , do not stop still , carry on driving to cool them off , carry this out about 5-6 times and they should be ready to use in anger , you may get some fade the first time you push them very hard which is normal
Cheers Ian

Bought the same for my Sti and very happy with them and the service from Godspeed.
How easy was it to remove your old rear discs,did you have to use the screw the bolt in the hole method,or was it just the hammer in the picture.

Think he always has a deal on

Had these on my 4 pots and they worked damn well (calipers did have stainless steel pistons so they added to the effect)

I have the Godspeed two piece discs on the front of mine and they have been very good. Need to change my pads though now what's recommended as a good pad for standard road use

Depends what pads you want , if its the kevlar pads the only deal we have on at the mo is whats on our website
You have to be careful when removing the rear discs , they could be stuck to the drive flange due to rust , and a tap with a mallet usually breaks the seal , but if the handbrake is holding the discs on , and you screw bolts into the two holes to get them off you will end up damaging the handbrake mechanism , you need to check that the handbrake shoes need to be loosened off first , the discs will come off very easy then

Cheers for the advice Ian!
The hammer was used to great effect, I think the previous owner only replaced the pads and the discs were from 1950, they were in terrible condition and were near impossible to get off! The main issue was at the front, had to remove a suspension bolt to get the caliper bolt off. Not sure if anyone else had that issue? I didnt fit the fronts, a friend did!
