Hi Graham
if you look in the private ads someone is selling their P1 brakes, it might be a worthy upgrade if your on 16's. They're a bit more than £200 though.

Hi Graham ,
I ahd on my 93 WRX black diamond groved discs, black diamond brake lines and EBC green pads this set up worked very well , But be warned the discs take an age to bed in so be patient if you go for this set up.
To remove the cailpers you need a 17mm spanner , to remove the pads you need a 14mm spanner and to remove the discs you need 2 M8x1.5 bolts and a 13mm spanner . To do the whole job it took me and the old man about 2 hours .
Hope this helps Dave
P.S. the total for the lot was under £200

Graham, Ive just picked up some group N disks and Pagid fast road pads for my 93WRX and that was around £200 from scoobysport. I'll be fitting them this weekend so as yet I dont know how good they are, but if they are up to the usual scoobysport standards they will kick ***......

Brendan,
The difference between standard and group N discs is the grade of metal used - group N is superior.
Have you already changed the pads ?
If not, this would be a better first step. Both Mintex and Pagid have their fans...
Incidentally, Black Diamond also sell discs for the 4-pot cars which are available for under £200. There are three flavours - drilled, grooved and combi.
IHTH
Thanks
Gavin
