In need of some advice, my brakes are past their best days and im needing to order some more. Can anyone advise on good brakes/places to buy from or is anyone selling any?
There standard 4pot front and 2pot rear.
Thanks
Mark

Why not refurb the ones you have if you're happy with their performance up til now?

If you looking to refurb them then I'm sure Ian at Godspeed does a kit with stainless steel pistons or if your looking to upgrade then Brembo's are a popular choice for a classic but you just need to make sure your wheels you currently have on your car will fit over them.

if the calipers are good then look into the big brake conversion with godspeed, he does brackets that allow subaru 4 pots and bigger disks.

Get my pads/discs from Ian @ Godspeed Brakes for all the calipers I've had fitted.

Alyn @ AS Performance is another guy to speak to.
