Brake Advise Needed

[quagmire]

Right guys i am looking for some advise, nothing major but just want to guage some views from you lot as you are more knowledgable on this as i am!!

I have a warped disc on the scooby and need a new set, don't want anything too special as am running pretty standard but i do use the car everyday. This is my second set of standard discs i have warped quite quickly so i want to know what set to go for but like i said i don't need anything too special or expensive.

So what do you lot recommend?? Any advise will be appreciated

Oh the car is a 52 plated bugeye wrx if that helps!

Cheers

Simple go to God Speed barkes I think he still doing a GB over on SN. He also gives a 12 month guarantee against warping.

If you have managed to warp 2 sets then the standard brakes are not upto your style of driving, i would suggest spending a bit more than you wanted to and get a decent brake kit upgrade, i have the godspeed 335mm kit on mine and have used them on track days without any problems, i did warp a set of discs after 3 years but i think that was probably me keeping my foot on the brakes when i've stopped so the heat transfers to the discs in one spot and warps them

Ditto Granby's comments about your driving, however I would go for the KSport from APEX. I Have 330mm front and rear on the www.kentscoobies.co.uk trackday STI TYPE-RA. They are brilliant.

Check out the group buy.

Is that a polite way of saying he drives like a nutter?

And if he spent half as much on his brakes as he does on his tattoos he would have a full set of ceramics by now!!

It appears to be ok....for the moment. Cant seeing it lasting the winter, it shouldnt have gone dead after only a week. If you noticed i also had my lights on too, cos granby says that helps charge the battery. Dont normally like doing what the old man says but i thought better safe than sorry.

I always run round with mine on...mostly cos i forget to turn them off!!!
