2/ AP expensive but at the top of the game.

Do your homework is all i will say! Get some advice from the experts for what you actually want from your brakes. Do you track the car? Are you a middle pedal maniac? Do you really need a full upgrade?
I have StopTechs on an MY03 WRX, and yes i have slagged them off in the past for various problems (a VERY long story), but now i have them sorted, they do work very well, just ask Paul at Zen Performance what he thinks! LOL. They are on his monster of a car.
And the price in the GB seems reasonable just having a quick look around.
IF you do get the StopTech kit, do NOT use the crappy Axxis Ultimate pads, they are well ****e and that of course imho. I thought they were ok until i switched to BHP XPS pads (now discontinued).
Next will be either DS2500 or Pagid.
I do not track my car so cannot comment on StopTech for that but plenty do of course.
I also have oem 17" wheels with the 328mm kit and there is just room to fit
They do look the dogs actually in red caliper.

dynamix wrote a good review of his experiences of the brembos+ Performance Friction Brakes on track: https://www.scoobynet.com/wheels-tyr...es-up-job.html

I have had the KAD kit on my classic WRX for close to five years. Very impressed. Tried a friends STi with AP's and in fast road driving could not feel any difference.

At the time they were a fair bit cheaper. I am not sure what improvements have been done over the years on either, so could be different story now.

Do you really need a brake upgrade if your are not tracking the car ?

The std brembos are perfectly adequate for the job on the road no matter how hard you drive them.

If you are needing new discs and pads then I would wholeheartedly say that performance friction are the ones to choose. They are perfect on the road and cheaper than OE parts. If you wanted to take them on track too, then they will not let you down.

I will be running Performance Friction discs / pads in this year's Time Attack - I feel no need to change from this.

If you feel the need to go AP then you obviously have too much money to spare on things that you wont use
