Default Advice needed for fast road set up

Afternoon all,

I want to set my WRX up for more capable fast road use' I have coilovers on the way and already have fitted strut braces.
Would using uprated fluid, pads and disks improve the stopping massively? And is it worth getting my alignment done to pro drive standards?
Any other suggestions are welcome and tyre advice

Pads and disks can improve stopping, but it depends on what you're getting. Choose the type of pads that suit your application which is fast road in this case. A higher rated fluid will allow more consistent braking - less prone to fade.

Definitely get a custom alignment done and the best tyres you can afford, afterall, that is the only thing that contacts the road and the amount of power you can plant down, the conering and braking force are all quite dependant on tyre performance.

Another thing you might wanna consider is getting the car tuned, which would easily give you a fair bit more mid range torque and power.

For fast road pads disks and fluid would help alot, brake fade is not a good thing!!
alignment is a MUST when coilovers are fitted....full geometry is best but not cheap.
