Yes. Got these on my GB270 Wagon - fitted them basically when new (circa 400 miles with DS2500's). Over 5 years now and 38 000 miles, have been perfect and best setup on WRX 4 pots I have had - had Tarox all round, DBA and EBC all round and then TSl group N with DS2500's all round (on previous WRX wagons all with braided hoses and 5.1 fluid).
Improved brake performance and have never faded on me - mostly road use but will for me take a good 20-25 mins of heavy work and repeated high speed stops (70mph down obviously) with no probs.
A guy I know had a Hawk STI a few years ago with standard discs and half decent Kevlar pads/braided hoses/5.1 fluid and these faded fairly regularly when we went out for a drive (on our private track of course). Brembo's with the likes of PFC discs may be better but have only tried the standard setup from above. Price in PFC discs/pads all round for Brembo's and I'd go for a proper AP/Alcon setup all round personally. Never liked the Huge brake setup on the front (355/362 discs for instance) and standard setup on rear that many seem to have.
Easy to fit as well just takes a bit of time to get right and don't want to rush.
Recently forged Enginetuner
setup running 462BHP/490lbft (AJ put a thread up back in December in 'Projects') and no probs still - thought about a full AP front rear setup from Godspeed but see no point changing as have never reached the limit of this setup - Godpseed grooved rears and DS2500 as well.
If I was aiming more for regular track use (which I might in the future) then I'll upgrade but more than happy for now. Still tempted as I feel it's 'Expected' to get a decent caliper setup - anyone want a decent 4pot/2pot setup with 335 front's and grooved rears?
FYI, I'm still on the 5 speed as well - 4 months and 4 000 miles no probs - over 2 years previously on 360BHP/350lbft as well.
Diatribe over!
