Default 05 WRX Brake upgrade

I need new upgraded pads and disks (warped at trackday) anybody any suggestions, I would like grooved (just for the looks really) and I have been told cross drilled may crack on future trackdays.

I don't want to specnd thousands though...!

Any help appreciated.

I bought some grooved discs and ferodo ds2500 pads from this guy, http://www.godspeedbrakes.fsnet.co.uk/ . They improved braking a lot and coupled with some braided hoses, it was like a different car.

What size are the standard disks?

And how can the 335mm conversion fit a standard 16" wheel???

(I have tried to phone Godspeed but they are not answering!!)

Zip , you would be better off emailing him as he's usually working on the machines and cannot hear / get to the phone ,

Your car wont have 16's they will be 17" wheels , the 335mm kit needs at least 17's to clear , it wont fit under 16" wheels

The standard sized discs are 294mm

Braking is very good with this set-up,only thing that's annoying me is that the pads have just started rattling,i think its due to no anti-rattle shims coming with kit,gonna try and sort some and see how it is then.
