Default 4 pots over 2 pots

Hi all,
I currently have 2 pots on a my subaru which is running 300bhp and need to upgrade will the 4 pots be good enough or will i have to look elsewhere? Just wondering if anyone has upgraded from 2 to 4 and if so what did they find?
Thanks

I Changed from 2 pots with drilled discs and Pagid fast road pads to Subaru 4 pots and discs with DS2500 pads, i was surprised how much better they were, not much improvement in pedal feel but they stop better, the only problem for me is after about 10 heavy brake applications from 80-100mph for corners they start losin bite, the pedal is still firm but the stopping power is reducing, if i then ease off for a few stops they start coming back, but as soon as i start braking hard into corners again, they start fading. great for road use though

^^^Sounds like pad fade, try a set of Ds3000's or similar next time.

Its worth upgarding your hoses and fluid to for a better pedal feel.

For a road car 4 pots should be fine, but if you're using it on track they will fade quicker and go spongy with the extra power you're running.

I agree completely but as the car is mainly for road use the ds2500's are good enough for me.

Also agree with 5.1 fluid and lines, bought mine from the last groupbuy, well worth it.
