Hi everyone, as a new member and the recent owner of my first Subaru Impreza I have a few questions if anyone can help me please ?

I have purchased a 2005 Impreza WRX which I will use for occasional amateur track days and not general road use apart from travelling to and from Silverstone etc and I have just purchased a set of grooved discs and orange EBC pads all round from Godspeed (good guys) however I have just stripped down the rear brakes to discover drums and shoes as well as the pads and discs ? I had not budgeted for additional brakes so are they purely for handbrake use or will I need to upgrade them also ?

Any advise would be welcomed as I'm very much an amateur mechanic

Thanks

Pete

 

There are just for the handbrake, no need to uprate them or replace them unless worn out.
