Hi,
Current brakes on my MY93 Legacy Turbo are a bit crap, and I was wondering what the best option was, to replace/upgrade the 2 pot setup or to go for 4 pot brakes.
I'm running on 16" rims at the moment with 205/50/16 rubber, does this make any difference on fitting a 4 pot kit?
Any suggestions/Websites or even other threads I should check out?
Cheers
Steven

loads of threads on here re; this.........most people reckon on swapping for 4pots however you can get the 2pots to work really well, IF you put the right parts in them - depends really on how much you've got to spend??
for example we run turbo estate as a rally chase car with a 2pot 'grpN' set-up and have no issues........
mail me if you need any specific advice

I'd agree with Stockcar, I've just fitted a set of standard disc's with Ferodo DS2500 pads (to my MY98 GTB)and they are great.
Not yet had any big break fade and I use it for chase car duties, so it does get a bit of stick.
Stockcar is the best person to talk to regarding brakes....very helpfulb & good prices.
