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.

Bas,

I have a set of P1 4-pots for sale if you decide to take this route. Email me if you're interested.

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
