Default Standard alloy brake options

Right chaps (and chapesses)

The old Godspeeds have started to screetch at me...time for new disks & pads I think.

I think my options (keeping standard 16" alloys) are:

Front
Keeping the Subaru 4 pots and adding the Godspeed 335mm upgrade

Rear
Newage Sti Brembo conversion...

Relatively cheap, but a very good brake setup ready for MUCH more power.

Any disagree, or any other options that aren't rediculously expensive?

I personally think it would be a bit strange to have brembo rears with Subaru four pots up front, with or with out the Godspeed conversion
Go for the standard newage subaru 2 pot rears.

Hi Ollie
To fit those fronts and rears you need 17" wheels , the 16's wont fit over them.

If you were fit the 335mm front kit , the better rear option is the Brembo kit over the subaru 2 pots as the brembo's use a larger disc

Hi,

Thanks Ian, I'm keeping the standard 16" wheels all round so I guess my next option would be the 308mm disks on the front and newage 'Subaru' 2 pots on the rear? What disks do you suggest I use on the rear to keep the balance, 280mm?

If you want to fit the subaru rear 2 pots you will have to fit the 290mm discs to go with them , these will fit under 16" wheels.
Yes the 308mm kits are the largest you can fit under your wheels
