Brembos :D

08 brakes look so budget! Subaru is losing all signs of style.

where is the best place to buy ?

any idea on how much they are?

i will need the rear done too. i was thinking of trying to find some 07 wrx brakes. does anyone know if they just fit ?

Try JWS in wangara they should be able to help you out.

Sorry dont have their number, just put JWS in search and
you will prob find the contact details.

Also have a look on ebay as they usually have some going on there.

Price wise your probably looking at around 2gs+ for Brembos, not
sure about 07 standard ones though.

love the look of jdm 08 sti brembos, plain black.

(cant be bothered shrinking it sorry)

They look like commonwhore 2 spots.
I am looking at 07 standards or going Brembo's

they are 08sti brakes. so they will be brembo's i would say.

i doubt there is much diff between my07 wrx brakes and my08 wrx brakes... surely... they couldn't have down-graded! Look at getting brembo's off an earlier model sti, say 02 upwards.. or maybe even Alcon's or ProjectMU's etc..

Probably won't be an issue but will the standard 08 wrx wheels clear brembos?

Might like to confirm this before stumping up a heap of cash or plan on replacement wheels at the same time if they don't.

Im pretty sure i read on hear not long ago that the standard wrx
brakes were changing from 4 pots to 2 pots.

The 08 brakes also now look like the standard pov pack brakes that are
on the base model impreza's.

thats correct, 08 are 2 pots, 07;s and before were 4 pots.

I guess the question is what specifically dont you like about them ?

feel ? travel ? etc...
