Thinking about changing the Discs& Calipers on the above, Have seen the prices for new brake upgrades
Do not feel that i need 6 pot stopping power( Do not go on track)Is there a 4 pot caliper system availiable with say 335mm Disks to help fill up my new 18'' Wheels?
Really be grudge paying £1500/1600...

Godspeed 335mm kit uses the Subaru calipers, but spaces them out to use a bigger and thicker disc, I have them and so do loads of others, they do the trick! the kit is about £600, plus fitting, a good alternative to the big cost of the others!

Thankyou for the very interesting reply, The main reason for the change is the OE Subaru calipers, They look really naf, They seemed to loose thier colour after about 3 months, Went a very dull grey / green
Have seen on the Godspeed site a nice Red brembo kit with 335 Discs
Thanks again

Oh yes have tried painting them And trying to pick out the Subaru lettering, Think that i will go the Godspeed way 335mm Discs, Brembo calipers, And as you suggested sell the OE calipers.
Perhaps you could offer me some advice with the discs, I have the option of either having them Grooved only, Drilled only, Or Drilled and grooved? Very confused these options are also at no Extra cost
Any comments appreciated

If you are going to do track days then get grooved only. The heat generated will crack any disc but the drillings act as stress raisers where a crack can form and propogate quickly. If it's just for road use, go for which look you want
