I'm buying a WRX tuned with PPP and Suspension
now i need to know what and why??


AP 6 pot?
Prodrive brake upgrade?
Intrax suspension?
Lebda C?
Proflex?


I'll add comments i've heard so far:



AP 6 pot?
expensive to maintain, and more suited if you do trackdays and afterwards come it for a service, not really suiteble for road use


Prodrive brake upgrade?
ease to maintain and good


Intrax suspension?
good

Lebda C?
very good


Proflex?
more suited for rally's and if not maintained every 2 months it"ll break



can you guys and girls also add you comments?
so i can make a founded decision



It'll be a Plus version of the bugeyed model
and it'll be tuned as a trackcar
i mean, i'll also use it for 30.000miles/year on public roads
but there will be a trip to the nurburgring every month....
and i don't care about the hardness or noise for normal road use...
i want a proper race car and no more luxury after having owned an
audi S3 for 1,5 years...

For brakes, you can't get much better than AP 6 pots. They cost about the same as the Prodrive Alcons and are far superior. They are perfectly fine for the road and come into their own on the track. The discs last well and the only significant running cost is the pads but these last quite well anyway.

On the suspension front DMS seems to be a popular option, the only query is the support (rebuilds etc.). The quality is certainly there but there are plenty of people on here who have tried several setups and would be far better qualified to comment.

damn this is a slow board?




just stirring it up

The other advantage that the AP's have over the Alcon kit, is that when it coes around to repacing the discs.

Alcon around the 4-500 a set.

AP around 300 a set.

Prices might have changed since I last looked.

Can't odds the Leda setup though I have B not C

I use SS Brembo/AP kit which again I can't fault. I believe SS now do a 6 pot kit which I'm sure will be up to usual excellent standards.

is there noone else that hasd an opinion???


yep, my fault!
it's indeed the lebda B setup for a WRX

recently installed ap 6 pots, and they are excellent for the road, very progressive etc. Of course overkill for just road use, but still a more brakes per £ than the alternative prodrive version

thanks!!

and what about the suspension??


stick with the cheaper "intrax" or go for the lebda B?
