I have just bought a 96 'n' impreza turbo 2000 and basically the brakes are rubbish, especially for a car with this performance, its got the standard 2 pots from what I can tell no Subaru embossed on the calipers. I need to sort the brakes out. I have about £600 I can put into the breaks so was wondering what people would advise I do and where to go and how much it would cost roughly?

Cheers.

There is a groupbuy from godspeed at the moment. For that money you could get a Brembo kit either 308mm or 325mm complete, depending on your wheel size.

Think id go for the 308mm 4 pot conversion kit should be much better than what I have now do you know if these are any good and also will they bolt straight on no messing around.

Normally I'd be an advocate of not paying for what you don't need and say that the std 4pot kit was adequate - it most certainly is for road use- but if you were to save £270 more you could get the AP 4 pot kit and -from what I've heard on here- there are no finer brakes and such comments have been from those who have upgraded from the std 4 pots. Depends on your usage though I guess, It would just be expensive to spend £600 on brakes then decide you'd like something better and have to pay £870 quid again for the real deal

I've got Ian's (Godspeed) 325mm Brembo kit on a classic.

Fitting was a cinch, took me all of around an hour, with my eldest helping me bleed it afterwards.

The old calipers come off reasonably easily, try a little WD40 on the bolts half an hour before loosening them, the new calipers go on with a machined spacer.

No probs with the discs, Scoob discs are only held in place by the wheel and the caliper anyway..........
