Anyone running Godspeed discs and kevlar pads?
Just after some feedback on the Godspeed discs and kevlar pads package that Ian sells, has anyone been using them and how do you find them?
The car won't see a track and I don't drive the wheels off it on the road either, I just want confident braking when I need it........I must be getting old or something!
Cheers in advance,
Ian

I do have them on my classic converted with brembo's all around. But only have them in the rear. At front I'v got a complete set of ICP, for only road use and some spirited driving, like I do, it's more than enoughd, they're quiet, brake evenly when cold of hot, so far no fading at all and I do give them some punishment sometimes just to test them.

Not run them on any of my Impreza's.
But had Ian's grooved discs & kevlar pads all round on the wife's JCW Mini 'supercharged model' for about the last 4 years. Had the 2nd set fitted last year & they perform quite well, with no squeal just a little 'huuuum' from the grooves.

Yeah m8 godspeed stuff is decent kit, I'm running grooved discs and kevlar pads and pull up well, running goodridge braided hoses also with the set up, only slight complaint is the kevlar pads squeal like a banshee when cold lol

They work fine, your use of the car is simular to me and you will be happy, they do fade out after heavy use but you cant have it all
A good all round set up
P.S
For an extra £20 get the discs Zinc coated it will stop them rusting in the vents and look more attractive to the eye

Just picked them up from Godspeed, centres are painted but not zinc coated. I didnt think about that to be honest. I may pick up a can and just do the inside of the vents myself. Only got the fronts so far because the backs have some life in them yet but want the same pattern front and back just so it looks right so they will be changed soon enough.

if you are considering running his stainless pistons I suggest you get plenty of feedback from other members, they have been nuthin but trouble for me , his stainless pistons DO bind and DO rust ??? poor quality stainless I dunno??
I have ultrasonically cleaned , stripped, re sealed , mine 3 times in the last 3.5 years
I threw the towel in last month after they were binding again and put in pagid re con calipers, we will see how these pan out,
I 'm not saying they are all bad but like with everything do yer homework

I spoke to ian on a number of occasions ,to which he just hummed and harr'd
he only suggested that I re seal them and sold me two kits on two separate occasions at £36 per time ( I think cant remember)
or I bring in calipers and they would refurb them at their usual rate
I shud have pushed the issue on rust spots on pistons which I noticed on third stripdown, but taking car off road to resolve issue and to drive from Swansea to bridgend back n fore at that stage of the game was just a step too far ( cud have just been bad batch of stainless )
his counter manner was very friendly but without solutions ? school is still out on him at mo
I 'm just saying that do yer homework , I cud be one in thousand but then again I might not be
