Non abs brake upgrade
 
Would a Prodrive Alcon upgrade prove beneficial over the standard Subaru 4pots on a non abs model?

Currently running standard callipers with DBA discs and yellow stuff pads and is a good set up..... Would the Alcons make much difference?

Yep huge difference, I did one track day on standard 4 pots with pagid discs and pads, not impressed, yes they work but not well enough on track .
If your not going to push it then only reason I would bother is the appearance , which would look perfect on your car.
I have given mine a fairly hard test now and they are brilliant :-)

Meant to say, have a drive in mine and give the brakes some testing.
It's only then that you will see the difference

Can't remember, does yours have abs? and will have to try the wheels over your callipers next time:doh:

Ron a big brake kit would look menacing on yours!!!

Cheers Benji:ok:

Not decided to yet or not? will see what the wheels look like over Crowmans and make my mind up.... part of it is really if theres going to be a huge improvement or not to be honest....
