Brake Upgrade


Recommended Posts

To go with my VF34 (or 35) upgrade I am planning i want to improve my brakes, as the standard WRX ones arn't the best. 

 

What are my options if I don't want to spend too much to see a good improvement? (Indication of cost would be helpful) 

 

Kind regards

Chris

Uprated drilled n groved discs n pads would improve things a bit if you're running stock .(about £150 from godspeed or asperformance)

A brake stopper about £40 stops the bulkhead flexing and gives a better pedal feel

Braided brake lines about £60 gives a firmer pedal too .

Failing that front brembos from a newage sti with second hand discs n pads cost about £450 .

6 pot ap's are £1,200 new if you've got plenty of spare £'s

TBH i'm not sure i'd bother. I did pads, disks and lines and they still gave up the ghost on the isle of mann in less than an hour.

 

cheapest option i would entertain is D2 6 pot, but for the price difference i'd just say sod it and get the AP's godspeed has on offer. £1250 for a 330mm 6 pot full kit, also pretty sure ian said they go under  17's.

Nah all joking aside really does depend on budget. Isle of man is no speed limit over the mountain, did end up liek this though lol

Had a gearbox let go on my nissan years ago on way back from Newcastle to Helensburgh - drove from Carlisle onwards with 4th gear only - was lucky it didnt grind to a halt but I broke a shaft so no grinding
