Price includes vat.
Theyll be fine, just upgrade the rear pads to help settle the back end.
Youll save £17.63 carriage.
What size front and rears?
330s will be fine. If youve got twin pot rears then just upgrade the pads at the same time.
10% deposit. We are only offering black on this deal.
Just before the shipment arrives but numbers are limited so the sooner the better.

Id run 356mm if you can get them under your rims. Id be running 356mm on our own Impreza but as most of the market wants 330s Ive had to fit those so potential custoemrs can see what the brakes are like for themselves. No point them trying 356mm if they want to buy 330s

quick question will the 356mm fit on a 95 reg classic as on your web site it only says they are for the later model classic, not that there is probably any difference but wanted to check.... can't decide what to do

They come with a 10k mile, 12 months guarentee and Apex are very well known for their aftersales BUT that doesnt mean we are a soft touch and will bend over if you abuse the brakes and damage them as a result. Anyone thinking they can get away with no bedding in and taking the car straight to a track resulting in damaged rotors or vibration due to pad build up wont get any joy from us.
But, and its a big but, we will NOT walk away from any genuine claim and you will find our aftersales service is second to none. Just bed the kit in properly and I dont see any reason why any claim would be refused

Hi Bren,
I am still running in my new 8pots and i have now done 250 miles. The instructions say 400 miles. When can i start using them properly cause so far i havn't done any hard braking.
P.S even though i have not been braking hard yet the bite from cold is really good and i can tell that when i am able to get them warm and start using them properly they will be wicked.

You should build up the braking force over time to gradually increase the working temperature of the rotors. Doing 400 motorway miles and then doing as track day is no good, you need to build up the temps progressively. Do not come to a halt with the brakes hot and do not stop with your foot on the pedal with hot brakes. This will cause pad transfer, a high spot and so vibration.
If youve done 250 miles then Id start pushing the brakes harder

hi Bren
I am very interested in these brakes, i've a 1997 JDM leggy GTB import. I know some parts are interchangable between imprezza and legacy's, would these brakes fit my leggy (front and rear)?
Thanks
