Default Info on brakes

Morning all
After taking my blob out on a run yesterday I found I have now got quite bad brake judder. I've been looking at brembos set up but can't help but think that with the same money you can buy 6 pots from say a porsche ect. Question is has anyone fitted these and what kind of ballache was it? Was there other parts ill need ect? Sorry if it's somthing asked meny times over but ive looked and can't find much infor and tbh im crab at this sort of thing lol.
Meny thanks Steve

Pad deposits on discs if fine when went out prior.
Crap pads will overheat and leave deposits on discs

Thank you gus, it happens only after the run ive never really noticed anything before. I only get to use the car once every 2 weeks and never gets used hard as normally I have my 4 year old with me. I don't know what pads was used buy ive got good speed disks on them. Currently sitting at 360 ish bhp so I'm not sure what the limit on the wrx 4 pots would be

I changed to Brembo's all round in my Type R and never looked back. My original 4 pots were OK until I cooked them after a spirited drive one evening. I could never get them to feel good again, even with disc/pad/fluid changes.

360bhp in a blob,I would seriously be thinking about a upgrade to the Brembo set up so I could fit bigger disc and pads,as the newage cars are heavier and came out of the factory with inadequate braking power especially once you have started increasing the power level as you have,Porsche calipers are very nice but very expensive if you can find a set you will be limiting yourself to pad choice though.I would go the Brembo or ap caliper route less fuss and more pad options.SJ.
