Newbie brake question
#1
I've got a MY03 WRX with PPP and 18" PFF7 wheels.
The brakes look completely lost in these size wheels.
Am I right in thinking that the brake kits advertised by TSL, Scoobysport, etc etc are for just ONE (ie front) set? If so what do people do about the back brakes? Buy 2 sets? or leave them as is?
Also - any recommendations? I don't necessarily want "stop on a sixpence" performance but anything more powerful than the existing ones has to be good - and preferably something to fill those gaps!!!
Cheers
Ian

Those kits are just fronts. I don't think there is an off the shelf caliper upgrade for the rears.
Generally most people leave the rears std or just uprate the pads/disks.
Almost all of the braking is done by the fronts, the rears are there to balance the car (stop it swopping ends)
There is a very wide choice of upgrade for the front, it all depends on funds and what your requirements are.
You could go with the TSL, Scoobysport that you mention or AP, Brembo or keep the calipers and just go for a bigger disk like the Godspeed kit and many more
