Looking to upgrade my rear brakes on the p1 - I have the prodrive alcon kit on the front, and it all feels a little unbalanced

I was thinking of going for decent pads, or pads and disks, or new calipers as well.

Has nayone done this - is it worth it.

I don't think you need to upgrade the rears. Under heavy braking the rear end goes light, with strong rear brakes this could cause lock up / abs cutting in (depends on your car, have you got abs?). It seems that the impreza has very heavy front brake bias as it is so the rears don't do a lot anyway..so not a lot of point IMHO.

If anyone knows better please feel free to contradict me this is just how i see the situation, i have uprated fronts and std rears, i have not seen an impreza with uprated rears someone who has may be better placed to help.
