Question

Subaru Prodrive upgrade would be favourite but just having paid for PPP what are the best of the cheaper options?
Currently considering Pagid discs and Pads or EBC Redstuff pads plus their Turbo grooved discs, any advice/comments would be usefull, thanks.

How much do you want to spend?
Are you going to do track days?
If so how many?

Popular choices are uprated discs/pads cost ~600 quid
AP/Brembo 4 pots 1600 quid
AP 6 Pot 1900 quid

Neil,
Thanks for the interest, in reply to your questions -
1. Less than £1000 (otherwise would go all out for AP or Prodrive setup.
2. Yes.
3. 2/3 a year.

Pagid setup sounds good from my research so far plus fitting would be free from a local distibutor i know, but have also been told good things about Godspeed kit.

Question

Simon,

I hope that the Pagids are bigger than those little things you've got at the moment!

Seriously though, do you think your local supplier would be up to another similar deal or not?
