Good boy. Let us know what those bits are like.

I'm interested in trying those discs and pads from them.

I have these discs and pads, seem good quality and they do seem to bite when you need them to.

I've got the Godspeed discs and orange stuff pads front an rear. Wasn't too sure at first. But there actually very good good when bedded in properly.

Pads need to be warmed up abit, but they don't let go when hot an smokey. Thumbs up from me.

Think I need some better brake fluid, an some braided lines though. Pedal go's spongy when pushed very hard...

Bed the pads in as Ian suggested (guess you got the little note in the brake package) and they work like a treat (300bhp Type R,refurbed calipers with stainless steel pistons,uprated brake lines and DOT 5.1 brake fluid)

Just picked mine up having had a full set off grooved discs and Kevlar pads fitted. Finally got rid of the terrible vibration. Initially thought it was the rears causing the issue, turned out it was the fronts, even though they were brand new in Feb and only seen 2000 miles!! According to my mechanic, they (very well known Subaru specialist) did a terrible job of fitting the last discs and pads. Hubs were caked in ****e and not cleaned properly, pads were ground down in places to get them to fit, rather than cleaning the calipers. Clearly contributed to the warping issue!!

I have exactly the same wheels and tyres as yours, oh, and just had exactly the same brake package delivered yesterday.

Looks good.

Got the Godspeed 330 discs on with my ap's I have done about 4k on the discs. Seemed ok when I first got them but now the feel like a lump of wood. They are fitted with ds2500 pads with ap 6pots. They will be getting put in the bin and replaced with ap rotors (only because the performance friction ones are not in stock at the mo) pay cheap buy twice :-(

it will be nothing to do with the discs , it will be the pads , sounds like they have glazed over , change to a pad like the CL RC5+ and it will greatly improve the braking power you have now.

If you feel you need to spend money on discs you don't need , I have a pair of PF 330mm discs in stock

Cheers Ian

I should have said I was also taking the opportunity to upgrade to the larger disc and it was that disc that was temporally out of stock hence going the AP route
