Just done a few blasts earlier and I was very suprised as to the performance of the oem Brembo's

Done two stop from 130 to 40 and they are impressive. MUCH better than the Subaru 4 pots.(any disc/pad combo)

My one gripe with them seems to be that when cold they do not seem to bite. Still, they're pretty awesome.

Change the Jurids to Pagid blue RS-42 and see the difference.

Get the RS14, the black ones. They can take more heat but are less noisy

Sorry I don't have the number with me. RS-42 is the compound.
They are redily available as most guys over here have changed over. They will pull up better and have less fade. You shouldn't need to go to higher temp pads when running 326mm x 30mm rotors.

Be careful with the Blacks RS-14 as the are dedicated race pads which don't stop well when cold.

What about changing the discs, are there any off the shelf replacements available ?

Can we get upgraded pads over here easily ? TSL/ScoobySport stock them ?

We make O.E replacement discs for the new STi 326mm in plain, slotted, or drilled. We do export to the U.K now but I would have to check to see who the resellers are.
I don't work in sales.

I haven't heard of warping problems yet.

They're just wearing them out because of the type of driving they are doing.

We do make the EVO 7 rotors too, 320 x 32mm but I'm not sure if the cars in the pics are using ours.

This is GTP class too, no brake mods!
