I recently changed all disks and pads and upgraded to brembo drilled disks and brembo sports pads. Car's far more responsive under heavy braking and I haven't felt any fade as yet whereas the last standard/original brakes faded very quickly. Also the drilled disks all round look brilliant. Hope this helps.

This is a question for Gambit. What fuel additive do you carry? We only have 95ron here in Ireland and although the car runs fine, I've run it on super from the north and its just a much smoother and faster car. Would like to look at using a decent additive.

Hi, There is a big difference in the cars that you're presently looking at. The WRX is an incredibly practical everyday car with a nice bit of power. Correct me if I'm wrong but the hawkeye model has a 2.5litre engine on both the WRX and STI versions. This makes for a much more linear power band with the new engine. The difference in power is 225bhp in the WRX and 265bhp in the STI. The STI is a far more focused machine in every way though. I have owned both (though older models) a WRX turbo 2000 and my current STI Prodrive. The difference in these two cars is huge and I wouldn't take the choice lightly without driving them both. The prodrive pack is very basically a power boost which is available for both the WRX an the STI. Both raise the power ban by about 35bhp. This is done by a new exhaust, springs, fuel pump and ECU. This does though vary on the different models for more info on the pro drive packs see http://www.subarupartsstore.co.uk/search,b.html?category=108&q=Prodrive The STI will cost you more to run as parts and servicing are a little more, it's also a little temperamental for every life as it needs to be warmed up and cooled down properly and that's not just after 'spirited' driving, where as the WRX is a more usable everyday car. Saying that would I personally swap back to a WRX? No, the rewards of the STI are far greater. Overall I'd drive both cars and see which one would fit better into what you want. My advice would be to go for one with the prodrive pack though. Any other questions please ask. Hope this helps a bit.
