10- 15 mph more speed

i agree the brakes on my old 03 wrx where awful, i put some group N discs and ds 2500 pads on the front and couldn't beleive the difference.

i'd listen to some of the comments about suspension and brakes matey.
as codie says you'll need a new turbo. maybe the decat fuel pump remap and some discs and pads. Should be able to get that lot for around 1200 quid

What's brave about that? It's all about how you drive. I would have no problems what so ever running 400 of each on the std setup....
