Hi guys I have a '97 classic (mid facelift) Turbo 2000 and would like to upgrade the, frankly useless, two pot sliding front calipers/discs before I look at upping the power.
Any recommendations/suggestions and costs involved would be gratefully received. I can fit them myself so no worrys about labour costs but I don't have a bottomless pocket so value for money is a must
My wheels are 18" Pro drive reps btw(inovite redlines)

Get some Subaru 4-pots and Godspeed can recondition them so they are as new, sure he can do Brembos too. Just done the same to mine now a 1996 JDM WRX as the standard brakes are cruddy. The Subaru 4-pots I have on mine are superb, and I`m looking for some Subaru 2 pot rears now.



And with Godspeed grooved disks and pads on group buy.

Keep an eye out for some good value Subaru 4 Pots. Check the pistons and seals, replace if necessary. Should be able to get some for £200.
If your wheel allow, Brembos would be better still and for not much more money.
We can supply decent discs/pads for either if yours don't come with them.
