Not sure if yours still has 2-pots or not?

If so you would be well advised to source a set of used 4-pots.

Q&H Disc's use very stable castings. I have seen these discs used many times without issue.
I wouldn't class the above as an upgrade though. If you want a upgrade keeping the std size disc etc I would recommend some BlackDiammond grooved only discs and Pagid RS4-2-1 Pads. BlackDiamond discs are very good quality.
Better still would be a Calliper, Disc and Pad upgrade. The std Subaru 4pots made by Nissin are good but if not a little heavy. It would be a worth while upgrade if you haven't already got a set of 4pots to get some, but be aware you will need a min of 16" wheels as they run a 294mm disc.

Have a word with Ian at Godspeed for Brake Packages.
