what pads and discs used though, reason i ask is imprezas are ment to have bad brakes for some reason, even the AP's on my mates car he aint that impressed with compared to AP's on a cossie
ive NEVER had brake fade on my set up,,, they aint the best ill admit compared to others ive tried but i aint felt any better on a scoobie,,,, and that i WAS suprised with
how was the 305's better out of interest, the pedal feel, the pedal travel, less fade or just confidence ?
ive had a few brake kits on cars before from 330mm brembos on a cabrio that WAS the nuts,,, but used to judder when warm for some reason
interested to hear what your comparing it against

The kit itself was a bit of a bodge, the brembo calipers were off a fiat coupe turbo afaik, had considerably better feel and stopping power over the standard setup (and i mean considerably better stopping power
)Also had the braided hoses which helped, though could have still improved them a little, but it was a good setup under the 17's i had on

as said you seem happy, change the pads to 1155's THEN tell me what you notice as its a BIG difference to me anyway
