Default Brakes!!!!

Has anyone bought the WRX pro 4 POT setup from Godspeed yet,any reviews??

http://www.godspeedbrakes.co.uk/~god...id_product=138

Looking at upgrading my brakes,but a set of four pots are going to cost around £100.00 then overhauling £250.00 then I will need disc's and pad's so going to set me back around £500.00 pounds and I will need 17 inch wheels from what I'm told my 16's won't fit over the 4 POTS....
Any advice gladly received....

Ian does an exchange for fully re-furbed four pots for less than £250. If you have the OE Subaru STi 16's then four pots fit with room to spare.

The link is a good deal mate and would take minutes to fit.

Hi Ian,I have 2 pots on mine and if i'm right in thinking they have to be a like for like exchange....
I'm sure he had them on offer a little while ago for £250.00

I've just been offered some (working/in good condition) Subaru four pots and discs and pads at a good price.... But it depends if they are solid or vented discs to be honest,as I would want vented discs,and to go and buy them new on top of everything else,I would be better off buying the new set above.... IMHO :-)

Agree the kit's an excellent buy and I have always found Ian to be a top bloke.

Did the AC pulley adjuster fit ?
