WRX Big Brake conversions
Im thinking of getting a big brake conversion for my 04 WRX, at the moment im running 18" OZ prodrive WRC-1 alloys, what kits can I consider to fit, as Ive heard some wont fit and need some advice as I dont want to be making expensive mistakes.
Anyone else had big brake conversions on there newage WRX's, and have any pictures.

I hope to do mine at some point but will be sticking to the Prodrive kit. I know it's not regarded as good as say the AP conversion, but want to keep the mods to Prodrive only.

We were up at Revolution the other week and their WRX demo has 12-piston 355mm Tarox kit on and they reckon it will fit under 18's no problem. They looked f**in massive!!!
The pictures are on their website if anyone wants a look.

Good choice!
Don't quote me on this but Tarox are the worst of the big brake kits. Best putting your money into AP's. Speak to Alyn at AS Performance. He'll give you good advice.

Tarox????
I had ceramics disc. Not really cera, its classic disc with 2mm ceramics plate and last up to 10 000km (me and my wife driven car in the city) and you get no warranty. Answer from Tarox: Buy another and we give you -20%....great for 1500€ (discs + pads)
So if you want good looking brake, go for it but if you want good brake kit buy AP or Prodrive-Alcon
