I haven't upgraded the master cylinder on mine and the brakes feel great.

Yep the same.

waldmanbrown

cool do you prefer them over the brembos or are they about the same. I am coming from stock 4 pots on the 294 discs behind 18" rims looked a bit numb i think.hopefully the ap's will look and feel better

I didn't really like the brembos at all, i suppose they could have been made better with a fast road pad and disk setup, but i didn't bother. The AP's are very very good, in a different league to the brembos in my opinion.

Newage STIs wont need upgrading as they have to handle the Brembo set up anyway.

Is yours a WRX?, as they may have a smaller cylinder and would therefore benefit with being replaced for an STI one.

I have a newage STI cylinder on my classic due to a 4 pot and 2 pot upgrade and it improved the brake travel.

waldmanbrown

yes it is. its an 08 gb270 how much would an sti master cylinder be roughly and where could i get one from?

I paid £6 for a used one from ebay , but you may have to pay a little more. Should be a few on there. Either that or a breakers on here.
