Default Bug Eye Brakes

Hi All

I am 23 and recently bought myself a WRX Bug Eye. I have made some simple mods such as exhaust and dump valve, but now feel I need to upgrade the brakes.

I want to start by changing the pads, can anyone suggest the ones to go for? I use the car everyday so don't want to go silly, but just want a small upgrade.

Any help will be appreciated.

Worth Speaking to Ian at High Performance Brakes - Supplying AP and Brembo brake kits for road and motorsport use as I had some Kevlar fast road pads off him along with some disks for my bugeye and the brakes are miles better

I am using Pagid Blue pads on my 03 WRX at the moment on the front. They are a lot better than OEM pads but are expensive. I don't worry about the cost though, brakes are quite important after all! lol.
You can then look at disc changes if you wish, but think long and carefully before you throw your money at big brake kits for 1000's of pounds. Take into account what you are actually using your car for before you waste money in the future.
