are the brakes that bad?
I have just drove a 2005 wrx with a view to buying it. The brakes were straight and true etc but just didn't seem very powerful. Is this normal?

I've just done discs, pads, braided lines and 5.1 fluid on my classic and it has transformed the braking. Feels really positive now, I have even been stopping short at junctions as the brakes are better than expected. (thankfully no body was behind me)

What discs and pads did you go for.I have a facelift classic which has 4 pots and find the brakes the weakest link.

I fitted MTech grooved discs (from eBay company called "mintbitz". had them on a few cars and have always been impressed), Brembo pads and Goodridge lines.
Still is the cars weakest point but much improved. Would have loved a set of Brembo calipers but couldn't afford them.
