Go for brembos off an sti, make sure you get a set that match the pcd your car has and if you use the rear brembos on a wrx, you'll need a bigger handbrake pad set or discs made by godspeed (this is due to the fact that sti discs are larger on the rears than wrx, 190mm vs 170mm)

If you're running the std wrx wheels then the brembos won't clear them according to what I've been told on here. You'll need to either use STI wheels or find a set of 17" that will clear or go 18".
Have a look at the thread I started, some good info in there. Thread title "brembos"

One of these will help as it reduces the flex in the bulkhead when using the brakes hard.

If you're thinking about track use then forget the standard 4 pot set up, minimum is going to be Brembos but then you'll need STI wheels as a bare minimum / cheapest option and by the time you've shelled out for buying them refirb, helicoiling, new discs, pads and wheels they fit under you'll be most of the way to a set of AP4 pots, which will fit under standard WRX wheels and are better than Brembos, as well as being worth more money when it comes to selling up time.

Hi
We have some offers on at the moment with the kits we make with Brembo 4 pot calipers to fit under 17" wheels , they are not the STi calipers , and both kits will fit under your standard WRX wheels , will be no problem with others.
We offer 2 kits , one with slightly larger calipers and pads than the other.
The first kit is this one
330mm 2 piece discs and bells , Monoblock one piece Brembo 4 pot calipers , choice of pads , DS2500's are popular , alloy mounting brackets and hardware , this kit is available with red or silver calipers , we can powder coat them any colour for extra , the pad size on this kit is 125mm long and 52mm wide
We have this kit on special offer for £899
The other kit we make , is the same size diameter at 330mm , but with a larger monoblock 1 piece 4 pot caliper and wider pad area on the disc to take a larger STi size pad , the pads are 132mm long and 59mm wide
You will notice the bell diameter is smaller compared to the one above , calipers are similar but you can see the differences.
This kit is slightly heavier , but is aimed at the harder driver or harder track use , we have also supplied both kits for competition use , and with the right pad for the application they are more than up to the job.
The larger kit is £999 , again with silver or red calipers , can also powder coat them any colour for extra.
These kits are very good value for money , and perform very well , as good as a same size kit with AP calipers , which we also supply.
All the pad manufacturers make performance pads for them , so you won't be limited on pad chioce
Hope this helps
Cheers Ian
