Brembos are a good upgrade. Disc size will go from your current 294mm, to 326mm.

Better calipers.

Not sure about wheel clearance.

I've got them on MY00. Changed the brake lines to braided stainless aswell.
Not really tested them out properly over the 4 pots, but its noticeable right away.
In a way I wish I never got them because of wheel clearance, so you are limited to cetain wheels. There are not a lot of 17's that are 7 inch wide and fit. Even some 17x7.5's don't.
So consider that.

I'd like to get rid of my Brembo's and get Ap Racing calipers. They have a big-ish 4 pot kits that goes under 17's no problems.

I've got them on mine, massive improvement over the Subaru 4 pots, but as Joey says, the choices of wheels are limited. I'm trying to get some 17's to fit over mine.

all about disc size more than the calipers, pure physics, you can get spacers to allow bigger discs on scooby 4 pots there is a trader on here that says they are brilliant then with bigger discs

thanks for that guys, gonna stick with my 4 pots for now, maybe get the bigger disc upgrade and forget the brembos coz of the limited wheel choice.

thanks again
