Default Brake advice for a classic

just picked up a WRX 4 recently and am not thinking of upgrading the brakes. Currently i have the standard set up and want more stopping power

Surfed around online and only found D2 making complete brake kits for GC8's. They seems quite expensive as well.

What are the other brands I can look at and can someone give me some indicative pricing.

thanks in advance

alright,but not as good at taking abuse as ferrodo ds2500,again phone godspeed and talk to ian,he will sort you out,and is easy to talk to on the phone,as he knows impreza brakes inside out.If you have the subaru branded four pots , i would recomend a set of braided lines,they stiffen the pedal up great,probaly the best mod with standard disks and callipers..

As you are in Sri Lanka, I would suggest it would be easier to source a supplier nearby. D2/Ksport are from Asia anyhow, so if you send them an email they will tell you of your nearist stockist.
