scoob fae ork Posted October 15, 2010 Share Posted October 15, 2010 Its that time again, i need new discs for the Brembos on my STI and i was wondering which come best recommended, i have Grooved Brembo discs on at the mo and was happy with them but is there better out there ??

arch Posted October 15, 2010 Share Posted October 15, 2010 The best are Performance Friction bells and rotors but they are not cheap, last I seen they were just over £500 a pair. Probably not worth going to that expense if the car is a pure road car though Link to comment

General consensus seems to say avoid EBC. Am liking Tarox F2000.... FUNNILY ENOUGH I have a set of rears going spare. Bought then as the groove pattern complements my APs on the front, but 08 rears ain't the same as previous STIs and had to get 08 ones made specifically for me. As such still have the rears for 02 on STI brembos in a 5x114.3 fitment if you or anyone else is interested. Wrong forum I know... sorry! Performance Friction always get a gd write up. Godspeed? Not sure. Heard mixed reviews... ask scooby222. Link to comment
sti pretender Posted October 15, 2010 Share Posted October 15, 2010 I running Godspeed discs on both and no complaints, avoid EBC I had a set warp and know of a couple other that had the same. Mintex 1144 or Ferrodo DS2500 pads are good. Also heard AWD are good for brakes but not used them. Link to comment

I wpould also suggest giving Alyn at As Performance a ring as he also knows the Impreza inside out. I would disagree on pad choice and would say from my experience the best pads for all round use on Brembo's are PF Z compound and i have used a fair few choices.

sti pretender Posted October 16, 2010 Share Posted October 16, 2010 Ian also give a 12 month guarantee on his discs against warping even for track use. Link to comment
Richie Cross Posted October 17, 2010 Share Posted October 17, 2010 i have his discs with ebc bluestuff pads and they are amazing mate, he rates them higher than pf pads.http://www.godspeedbrakes.co.uk I'd heard the same. The EBC bluestuff are getting rave reviews from a few on Scoobynet and they're cheaper than my Ferodo DS2500s. Link to comment
wrx kenny Posted October 17, 2010 Share Posted October 17, 2010 EBC have apparantly went back to the beginning and re designed there whole range of pads, as tom said above the blue stuff pads were given out on free trial to quite a few scoobynet members to get feed back , and they seem to be getting favourable feed back with ian godney rating them better than most other pads. I need discs and pads for the brembos i have , ian recommended blue stuff , although im not convinced i had a nightmare with the red stuff on . kenny Link to comment
scooby222 Posted October 17, 2010 Share Posted October 17, 2010 Ian does offer a guarantee but you have to send the discs back to him for him to assess first which isnt very handy - i have this situation right now with his 2 piece discs which are fine when cold but have a very significant vibration after a few decent stops id stick with the brembo discs mate Link to comment
scoob fae ork Posted October 17, 2010 Author Share Posted October 17, 2010 I had a look at the Godspeed website and i thought the prices seemed a bit to good to be true imo but then i have never tried them so i dont know. I have the Brembo grooved disks on at the mo and they can stop you like you've hit a wall but they can go some bonny colours with the heat . Those performance friction disks look awsome but jebus the price is Link to comment
