Default Can't stop !

My stoppers are rubbish ! Had a big oh help moment today heading towards a sharp left on a bumpy privet road, I was stamping on the peddle and whenever the car went light abs was cutting in how ever it felt like I was gonna go straight on. I need a replacement front disk and pad, even rears too, had a look about today and I'm not paying nearly 500 for fron disks and pads ! Are there any deals to be had on a upgrade set anywhere ? Can I have some recommendations ! @godspeed if I put a huge Godspeed sticker in my rear window will u sponsor me some haha

I've got Godspeed's grooved discs & kevlar pads all round on the wife's JCW Mini. Great kit and works extremely well.
Ian provides an awesome service & fortunately for me, he's local!

On the RB, I went for the best set-up whilst retaining the the OE Brembo callipers.
Alyn ASPerformance, provided excellent advice & my Performance Friction discs & Z rated pads all round at a very good price!

My bad Alyn I was just talking of a previous experience of a product I've used which ian@godspeed supplied

To the OP Alyn@AS performance has given me the best service and advice by a country mile on this forum so would be worth giving a call to Alyn who could probably supply you a product which would solve your problem

A tad harsh there MrTT & perhaps a little overstated. Someone wound you up mate?

newb impreza owner ? had them for 10 yrs - currently in a 04 STI and a RA rally car

I was merely stating i thorght over 500 quid on only fronts and pads was over the top, when a decent upgrade set of disks and calipers could be had for less than double that. And given the fact ive just had new discks and pads on a 997 turbo and it didn't come to that made me feel it was very expensive, i mearly cam on here for advice. Its the jump down your neck attitude that makes people with genuine questions for advice stay away from informative forums like this.
