would they not mess up the brake balance? 8 pots on front and only 2 on the rear? not sure if my wheels would clear them
 
the rotas should clear their not that wide...don't know about the balance sure you can just buy a new set of rears for about 600 you have a full set for little more than a set of brembos...and you won't need a mounting bracket like you will with the brembos...to be honest with ya I don't think the brembos are a massive upgrade from standard 4 pots ..probably break better after a lot of use but actual stopping power not any difference i could tell... those k sports pop your eyeballs out..brembos are probably better quailty but ..not trying to sell ya on k sports mind just think 1200 is a lot for brembos and then postage etc..you could do better imo.

only two pots on min at the minute.

Came across these though:

from uk so should work out cheaper, brand new with discs and pads :)

I'm running brembo's with godspeed disks and carbon lorraine pads and I think i'd struggle to find anything better for the money. The carbon lorraine pads bite in and nearly put you through the windscreen, unbelievable stopping power..

I do think you are looking at seriously over inflated prices for brembo's on the net. I got front and rear calipers, disks and pads along with 2 newage hubs and 2 driveshafts for €950 nearly a year ago. I'd ring froggy and see if he has a set of brembo's there, he more than likely does or will get some in soon

Il bow to experience here Ive never had day to day use fo brembos
 
Same with myself. I just sent him an email telling him what i was looking for and the thread patterns etc and he got back to me a couple of days later saying he had a few sets in stock. Don't think they update the website too often. :thumbsup:

thread patterns? What thread patterns do i need to check? US legacy guys say brembo calipers from 05/06 sti should fit my shape Legacy no bother on the front, with a bit of work needed on the rear? What are the size of the discs that usually come with the Brembo's? My standard ones are 315mm x 30mm thick

Sorry meant to say bolt pattern, 5x100 etc. Brembos are 330mm IIRC not sure of depth but they hit my wheels at that nd i need to get spacers.
 
Dan also if you want to help with the braking get your arse onto nengun and get a brake master cylinder stopper,only bout 40yoyo's,it'll stop the bulkhead from flexing as you brake and give you better feel in the pedal :thumbsup:
