AP's are by far the best out there, not cheap though, but stopping is more important than accelerating in my view

Upgrade at least to the Performance Frictions Z-Rated pads and you should be OK

Should be Ok is not good enough for how i drive the car, Been looking today and think i will go with Power station Porsche setup and will be giving them a call in next few days.

I always believe in buy cheap buy twice and would rather spend that extra now and be covered, Will be keeping my STI Brembo's to put back on the car when selling it on as i would say the porsches will go for good money second hand and i wont loose to much cash.

Cheers
