new discs/pads/lines......any suggestions
as the car is going to chevron for new suspension next week im gonna take the opportunity to stick new discs and pads on all round along with fresh fluid and braided brake lines.
any suggestions on which are a good combo? i prefer the look of drilled discs and nearly ordered the brembo xtra-line discs but they dont (or i cant find) any matching for the rears.

car is hawk sti fast road only.
would love another porsche set-up like my old impreza or a set of ap 6-pots but mrs would kill me if i spent £2k on brakes

Hi
You'd be better off staying away from drilled discs as with hard driving with good pads they can end up cracking around the holes , drilled discs are well known for doing this.
This is a popular package we offer for front and rears , a good performing pad , quiet in use , and not too bad for dust
https://www.godspeedbrakes.co.uk/pac...ted-pads.html?
We can offer you braided hoses and fluid for £75.
Or better still , the same package but with 2 piece front discs and alloy bells , and comes with hoses and fluid as well
https://www.godspeedbrakes.co.uk/pac...ack-pack.html?
The Brembo's can be made to work very well , even on the track , only very hard driving or track use would see the benefits of going bigger
Cheers Ian

Hi I run , Ian's package
Bell type disk 335 mm x 32 mm "float" and don't warp on cooling WRX Std calipers are adapted for use 5mm spacer ,
to use Ferodo 2500 are XJ6 /Aston pattern. These needed a bit of dremel work but work really good for me. Huge braking improvement over std,
Braided hoses and the Motul 600 RBF, or Castrol SRF better but expensive for me . To sort out brake balance I used Carbon Lorain RC5 at rear , Ferodo 2500 (sinternd) give hardly any squeal front , a very quick squeal on first touch of pedal from rears but then none further. So ok for Tescos and Zebra X
I get a warm up and 3-4 good laps of the Nürburgring in before things get a little too hot , but by then I'm done and sweating as well.
My opinion always get the Suspension (BC coil overs) done first , Your can't aim properly at an Apex under braking without them. Then of course sort the brakes next. My Mods above are 2k
But If I had another extra 2k I would take 6 pots and buy 18 Inch wheels /tires as that's what it costs extra.

You should buy everything in one place and find fitter, any EU fella will do it for half a price -it is not rocket science like 2.5 sti engine
no needs to go to chevron for suspension change and tyres just geo there
Save that way and buy proper brakes when selling brembos or monotube coilovers with covers or kw stainless steel
will avoid hand made rotors from single piece discs

Everyone seems to have an opinion no matter what you buy it's always the wrong one.
Think I'll just keep my car to n the garage and not use it so nothing wears out.
