Time to upgrade the brakes on the P1 - can anyone recommend where to take it near Glasgow and what to fit? I have 18" wheels on it.

What is your budget ?

If money no object, then go for the AP 6 pot kit, with 330mm grooved discs. Slightly cheaper, but still as effective would be the AP Racing 4 pot kit using the same discs.

Subaru dealers can offer you the Prodrive Alcon brakes, which are very good for about the same money (£1500 inc VAT), though the pads and replacement discs for these are a bit more expensive.

Further down the range you have uprated discs and pads for your existing calipers, which offer a marginal improvement over the standard stuff, but which are still not up to fast road work, or track work.

if I had the money I would go for the AP 6 pots as John said and Leda coilover suspension at the same time.

 

AP6 pots sounds good - I'm guessing these are about £1500? Where should I take it for these? Don't fancy the Prodrive ones from the dealer 'cos I've read on here elsewhere they're not as good.

what's the Leda suspension thing?

AP 6 pots can be bought from Falkland Performance Centre in Glenrothes, who can also do the fitting. Cost is about £1500+VAT for these.

KBM in Hillington can also supply and fit them (0141 882 6757), though might be slightly more expensive for the parts (less discount from AP, as they don't sell as much), but you might save it on the fuel/time to Glenrothes and back.

Also, there are quite a few other suppliers out there who can supply the kits mail order, and you can just get someone local to fit them for you.

Try contacting Willie at Drivers. Apparently he used to work for KBM in Hillington
