Give either Ian at Godspeed, or Alyn at AS Performance a ring.

You'll not get better advice.

Another vote for Alyn.

First option would be Pagid Blue with existing calipers and discs, depends how much you want to spend. What tracks do you have in mind.

I mainly hang around the Nordschleife in my STI and run Performance Friction floating discs and Z pads with 5.1 fluid

I could have done with the harder 01 compound pads at Spa last month but it was a trade off between 2 days at Spa and 5 days on the Nordschleife.

If you can afford it, the Performance Friction Setup with your existing Brembo calipers will be great.

Have a search on here for reviews.

Zen Performance and Performance Subaru have 6 podium places in Time Attack between the two of them running KSport brakes. Astonishing performance for the money:

KSport bargain brake kits,from just £660 for a complete kit, calipers, pads, rotors, bells,brackets, lines etc

The perfromanceF reviews look good. Have spoken to bob5 and ordered the perfromanceF disk and pads. it will be nice to be able to use the same pads for track and roads.

performance friction disc's and pads with the standard brembo caliper will be the best upgrade if you don't want to spend ££££'s on a complete upgrade. but if you are wanting to get new calipers pds and disc's there is nothing wrong with ksport. great value for money
