Default What about stopping power???????

ok guys as i plan big power rebuild i think i need to get to grips that my chassis will need to handle the power.

its just a basic question thats prob been asked many a time but cant find anything on it.

i have got my hands on a set of rear 2 pot calipers and plan 2 get matching 4 pot fronts to match (subaru standard issue)

would these be good enough to fit to my 95 classic with 400-450bhp?
and what would i need to fit these?

Nope

Have a look at the performance friction discs / pads, ksport, or go the whole hog with AP's. There's a cheapish set of brembo's with tarox discs and ds2500 pads in 'for sale' at the moment, but they'll struggle if you plan on using it on track etc.

In my humble opinion you need to properly budget for brakes, and chassis mods- before going for power increases- unless you just want to go in a straight line and aren't bothered about stopping.

Hope this helps.
