07 Hawkeye STI Big Brake Upgrade Advice
Hi all, in the middle of getting a full engine build on my 2007 hawkeye STI. At the minute I'm just having all the internals done and the block pinned etc and will worry about bigger turbos, ECU, Front mount etc further down the line, already got updated clutch, lightened flywheel etc so the First thing I want to do when it's back is the brakes and suspension. Just after any suggestion for some good big brake kits ? Hoping the car will be pushing around 550bhp when all said and done so money's not really a problem as I'd like to think the car will stop when I want it to but obviously don't want a 24 grand kit haha. Any ideas welcome and maybe some coilover ideas
Cheers.
Cheers.

Top man, I was looking at the APs recently. Seem like a good option. Have you got front and rears or just one of the two ? Never done a brake upgrade before and all I can seem to find is kits for front or back. Nothing seems to be for all corners. Do people mainly do just fronts or rears ? Not sure what the crack is tbh. Cheers mate

I have the Ap's up front and stand brembo with PF pads all round and goodridge brake lines, if you speak to Ayln @ AS performance he will help you out, he is spot on and alway have time to talk and help out.
I will buy the rears if I find a good set, I got a GREAT deal on the fronts.
They bilsteins really transformed the handling along with the whiteline Max c top mounts.
The spec c is a weapon in standard from and I have made it a even better weapon
