Hey guys
I'm looking for some advice on brakes for my P1. It has the standard setup (i.e 4 pots with SUBARU on the calipers). I was told on my service a few weeks ago that they have 4k max miles life left in them so i need some new ones! The question is what? I want to upgrade them so do I go with the prodrive conversion (therefore not upsetting my warranty) or another kit instead? I am thinking a decent set of 4 pots rather than 6 as i'm not into track days and dont want another mortgage to pay for brakes!
Please can you guys advise/recommend kits for the P1
Thanks
Keith

Thanks Adrian
I saw your thread before I posted nice brakes I must say. Is your mate selling these kits to anyone or was it just a 1 off? If so how much? Did these affect your warranty (if you still have some left!) Also did your car come with those litle splash guards on the front? Do you know where I can get some?
Sorry for all the questions

the kit is avilable to anyone my kit is set up so that 17 rims and slicks can be fitted by changing the front discs and moving the cailpers in. the mud flaps are about 20 pound from your dealer.warrenty should be ok as long touch wood

From what I gather changing the brakes for another make is only gonna affect the warranty on the brakes.
Either you need a more understanding dealer or you are being mislead

Thanks for the comments guys keep em coming!
Think I might have to have a chat to the dealer about their views of aftermarket brakes seems like you guys have had no worries!
Thanks
