Question

Ah another scoobynet poll time..

I am now totally sure my current brakes will not cut it once my huge list of mods is complete at the end of sept'.

So, do I go for:

HiSpec 4/6 pot

AP 6 pot

Tarox 6/10 pot

Brembo 4pot

Brakeman craziness

Godspeed

????

all thoughts welcome..
I just want some stoppers that are good value for money (not worried about brand names per se- performance is more important to me) and I will need them seeing as I am aiming for 340bhp ish..

How about some nice ceramic disks!

Don't know how you're paying for the rest of the mods but since you're splashing out why not go the whole hog?

Unhappy

everything is paid for except brakes.. Im procrastinating about new brakes, worthwhile seeing as they will save my bacon over and over

plus I thought I could get away with the old brakes- WRONG
a few swift runs at the weekend proved otherwise

(sniff sniff- is that the pads I smell??- ooh look - smoke- DOH)

It all depends on your budget. If you want the best, get the AP's. You don't need to go mental and get the 6-pots as the 4-pots are awesome too.

Brembo 4 pots. Wible has these on his wrx with 320ish bhp and they stop like anything (with the prodrive discs i think).

I would say Godspeed but it depends if you can get through to Ian
