Question

Still got the original 2 pots on my MY98 Terzo but have decided it's about time for an upgrade.

I've got no real plans for any track days so was wondering whether a top notch set up a la Scoobysport is a bit excessive just for fast road use.

Would I be better off just going for a standard Subaru 4 pot set up or getting some off say a P1?

Appreciate your advice.

Get yourself a set of 'standard' four pots, if you're not going to do track days these wil probably stand up to your use, if not then get uprated discs and pads, I am a hard (ish) user of brakes and I've got subaru 4 pots with 'godspeed' discs. with no probs!

Bas, if no track plans, then staandard 4 pots with say group N discs and uprated pads will be your best bet.

Thanks for the advice guys

Although you're probably right, Moe (TopCat) is getting rid of his AP 4 pots and I'm tempted by them.

At least it will mean that, if in the future I do decide to go on track, then the car's ready for it.

Cheers

Bas
