on my newage wrx I have just gone from Subaru 4 pots to Brembo's.
At the moment I have cheap discs with PF Z rated pads, these seem to be coping quite well, but I plan to go to 2 piece floating discs shortly.
A break down of my cost was as follows:
Front Brembo calipers 2nd hand - £300
Z rated pads - £128
Discs - £110
Hel brake lines for all 4 calipers £60
If I go 2 piece discs I am looking at another £450 plus I think.
Now if you you can fit K sports under your wheels £899 or there abouts for new kit seems like quite a bargain in comparison. Ginola I think made a comment at the weekend that Steve_PPP's K Sports were very powerful on track, and if I had changed my wheels to 18's I think this is a route I would have gone.
If you are on a budget, stick with std calipers, get some standard Subaru discs and stick some good pads in like Ferrodo DS2500 and change the fluid.
