100%

I'll be getting perfomance Friction next time without a doubt.

I've got "red stuff" at the moment, they are ok, but not a patch on PF!

Don't even go there mate, I had a right mare finding out what wheels would fit over the darn things. I've been informed that the STi 7 wheels have the right clearance. The fact I bought the calipers and wheels of the same guy who was gonna put them on his hawkeye project alays any fears of them not fitting either

Anyhow, anyone got some Brembo 4 pots that knows the answer without me having to ring round places?

Yep, the STI 7 wheels will be fine for the Brembos

The Performance Friction stuff is awesome but expensive.... the pic on this page shows the pad sizes: http://www.scoobyparts.co.uk/acatalo...S_-_FRONT.html

(PP430 is the brembo pad, but i'm not recommending black diamond stuff!)

Thanks Steve Is that PP430 a Brembo part number then or a Black Diamond part number....I'm confused, which, lets face it, ain't dificult!

So, Performance Friction are a definate yes but expensive. I found these on eBay which are PF pads but who knows what discs although a fair price for them combined I thought

Black Diamond are a definate no no then!

So, either EBC Red Stuff, Brembo or PF are the way to go then??

I've heard too many people complain about Black Diamond discs - put me off their products completely. The PP430 is a black diamond part code only - just linked to it as it showed the pad sizes.

That ebay link is probably not bad for the price, considering your looking at £500+ for just the PF discs....

Or just go with genuine brembo stuff? All depends on budget and type of use really.
