Brake upgrade on classic
Looking at upgrading my tired '96 WRX disks and calipers. What options haveI got? I'm not loaded so can't afford to spend £££££'s!
Cheers

Good recommendation. Will never be as good as a Porsche but a very cost effective mod on our UK MY97 cars.
Don't forget you will need the bigger 294mm discs to go with them.
Budget around £250 if using 2nd hand ebay calipers and new motor factor (Apec work well) discs/pads, more if using esoteric brands.
Can of Hammerite smooth make calipers look new £7
Seals may need replacing, allow another £30 just in case.
Also a set of braided hoses help things along a lot, another £50.
