Default Front Disc & Pads need advice

Hi
Looking to upgrade my front disc & Pads for MY01 WRX Wagon
4 to 6 track days a year also going to Germany this year.

Disc I’m considering
Prodrive or Tar-xo F2000 or (DBA 4649 I think these are correct)
(all grooved disc)

Pads
Pagid RS4-2 Blue or Tar-xo Corsa + or Ferodo DS2500

I’ve been looking in forums but need a push in the right direction

Thanks david

Try discs from Ian at High Performance Brakes - Supplying AP and Brembo brake kits for road and motorsport use
He does a 12 month warranty on them.

Looking at the track days you then Pagid blues seem the best choice out of your selection.

Also give Alyn a call on your needs as well AS Performance - Rally Motorsport Specialists

Both people listed are well trusted and sort out most members braking needs

Hi
I did consider the 325mm four pot conversion from Godspeed but wanted to keep the budget to around £500, I also wanted to keep the Subaru calipers
I will be getting Goodridge steel hoses fitted aswell.
I was going for Castrol Response super dot 4.

using prices from www.motorsportworld.co.uk

I think this is the right product code for the DBA Disc's DBA-4654SL/R

Were did you get the DBA's from??

Can you elaborate on this for me please. Is this an anti warp warranty or a warranty that covers something else....not sure what else happens to a brake disc

thanks

I got my DBA's from Alyn too. Ring him and have a chat about your driving style and he'll come up with an answer.

Andy.
