Depends on what size rotors you want. Speak to Bren @ Apex

Brembos all round...the fronts were from Ian Godney and DO fit under newage WRX wheels.

I also have the brake bias mod, which makes the car stop flatter.

i dont think brembos clear wrx wheels without spacers, they didnt on an old wrx i had anyway but i guess it depends on the design of the wheel

330 ones do,
Cheaper to upgrade to brembos with a good pad but then you'll need sti wheels or similar for clearance issues.

Correct , the gran turismo brembos are thinner and clear, speak to Godspeed brakes as I'm sure he sells them if he still does, if not the 330 k sport kit will.

The fronts were supplied by Ian at Godspeed, the rears fit with his fitting kit, neither needs spacers, they go under WRX wheels and fill them nicely, 330mm discs too.

I would SERIOUSLY advise people interested in better stopping to look into the brake bias mod.

The bias valve is removed, making the rears do far more work, and the result is flatter better planted stopping.

How easy is it to delete the bias valve Alcazar? And is it reversible? Have you tried on track?

Cheers
