I have the Standard Brembo's with my MY03 STi

I have a set of Prodive Alcons will these be an improvement ?

 

NO-i had a set of alcons on my p1 and they faded,required copious cleaning and squeaked annoyingly in town,as well as requiring to be taken apart at services to clean according to a local subaru dealer.the pads and discs prices would bankrupt a small african country!
brembos are much better but can be improved on by uprating pads,brake fluid and hoses and when discs go they will be replaced by dba slotted discs for cheaper than oem discs,oem discs and pads are priced like alcons-too high
all IMHO

So your on the fence on that one then

Thanks for your advice

 

I don't think the alcons are going to improve your braking either really, not so you'd notice anyway. I've had a few sets of Brembo's and I've never really been that chuffed with them to be honest.

I've got AP Racing 352mm discs and 6pot callipers on mine at the mo, much cheaper than the other AP sets because they were originally made for the MG group by AP and they had a massive stock pile. But admitedly a good bit of money to lash out for brakes, IMHO worth every penny though

 

have they got any left blueboy? looking to sort mine out. alternatively let me have a price for whichever you're not using if you want to sell phil.

cheers,
simon

 

As far as I know, they're still in plentiful supply, but I'm not sure the price will be as nice now. Check though - several places were doing it (I got mine from RC Developments) here
