4 pots standards vs 2 pots upgraded
#1
There's so much advice on this website its almost confusing.
I need some help from you brake experts out there.
Is it better to upgrade to 4 pots with standard subaru discs and pads or am I better off keeping my MY98 2 pots and getting better spec discs and pads?
Any thoughts?
Cheers Andy.

I guess you're both right, but I'll probs go with Ron and bite the bullet now. The pot upgrade isn't that much cheaper than a standard STi 4 pot kit.
Later I do want to mod the engine etc so I guess the 4 pot system would be a better starting point for future power increases.
Thanks, I'm off to bite some bullets.

ron, dont think i'd go that far
4 pot with bigger disc will always be better than 2 pot on smaller disc - however with the right pad/disc combo the 2 pot can be made to work well (depends on budget/preference/driving style)
only prob. with 4pot upgrade is that early cars on 15" wheel need to upgrade as well to min. 16" for caliper clearance!!
