Haven't tried these but according to all the blurb, appear to be good value for money and quality seems to be up to scratch.

Certainly, their site shows up plenty info and detail about them.

One concern would be availability of replacement discs and pads as and when required.

How long would it take to get replacements, if they can't be sourced over here?

And what about variety of pad compounds / manufacturers?

There is an excellent article on the Stoptech brakes in the Sept 2002 issue of Car and Driver fitted to a WRX MY02. A definite read before any brake up grade.

Thanks for your input I have just ordered a set for £1175.00
and will let you know how I get on with them.

P.S. Replacement brake pads are around £60.00

I have Stoptech's on my '02 WRX wagon with Pagid RS421's. Absolutely phenomenal performance. I have been able to get by on the track with the Pagid's with zero fade or vibration, whereas w/ the stock brakes and race pads/fluid I got severe fade, pedal vibration, warped rotors, and grease being puked out from the bearings. Their heat dissipation properties are the real deal. Stoptech's customer service is the real deal.

The Stoptech's use the same size pad as the Porsche 944 (model?), Stoptech quotes the friction # is D372. I believe this is the #1204 Pagid RS42 pad?
