Question

Hi there!

I´m planning to upgrade the brakes a bit.
Does anyone have any experience about this
combination?

You don't say whether these are the big alcon/ prodrive disks or the replacement group N spec disks.

I've had 3 sets of disks on my 18000 mile old STI5. 1st set oem caraked and warped within 2000 miles. 2nd set were alcon gp N and warped badly within a week. 3rd set again alcon gp N have done over 15000 miles but have hot spots and surface cracks which create quite a lot of noise when braking from high speed due to heat build up.

Can't really say I would recommend them.

CW.
