Speak to Ian Godney @ Godspeed brakes, he does a brembo kit that will fit under 16" wheels.

I have the K-sport 6 pot kit which fits under the oe 16" subaru alloys.....it uses the same pad pattern as the AP racing 6 pot kit and is also a fair bit lighter than the bigger 8 pot K-sport kit...

I have around 400hp in a lightweight classic and the brakes are faultless.....even an experienced rally driver with m,y car on the limit at Blyton comented on how well they stopped and did not fade throughout the day...

Yes fronts only needed.....you should have 2pot rears which are more than up to the job.

Dont be put off by the 308mm discs....they are lighter than the 330mm ones help with unsprung weight and a smaller lighter disc is easier to slow down. The 6 pot calipers are more than enough for my car.....any more braking power than the 6 pot kit would only really benefit if running slicks on a race track in my opinion.(maybe different on a heavier car ie newage etc)

Just dont use the k-sport pads....i have ds2500 which i like. Performance Friction also do the same pad fitment and i have heard good reviews about them.

I use the AP 4pots with 295mm discs in the front and newage WRX 2pots in the rear on my classic with the same wheels as you and I´m very happy with this combo!
