Default WRX 09 Front Brakes Upgrade

Hi all,

I want to change the brakes and I need your help to choose, Don't worry about money, I don't need help to pay

I have 3 differents options but I am not sure which is the best...

I hope could you help me. The options are the following:

1. AP Racing 4-Piston Big Brake Kits
Rotors: AP Racing slotted 325mm
Calipers: AP Racing 4 PISTON
Pads: AP Racing

2. PRODRIVE (alcon) 330mm kit
Rotors: Prodrive (alcon) 330mm
Calipers: Prodrive (alcon) 4 piston
Pads: Prodrive

3. KSPORT
Rotors: Ksport 330mm
Calipers: Ksport 8 piston
Pads: Ferodo SD2500

What do you think?
What do you recommend me?

Thanks in advance

K-sports if budget is a factor, APs otherwise.

325mm kit? The regular sizes used to be 304mm and 330mm for earlier models.

Also AP 5570/330mm 6 pot kit fits under WRX wheels, overkill for a road car but lovely in use both road and track. AP supplied pads are usually DS2500.

Yeah!!!

This is the idea... I bought the WRX because my wife didn't like the STI 09...She told it is very "fat" but now with the new STI'11 she is very very happy with the sedan and the wing

But for the moment we are waiting because in Spain is not on sale now...
Maybe I will change in 1 year... untill this time I want to have good Brakes

The initial bite of the 330mm six pot set-up is remarkable, I'm happy with mine.
