[QUOTE=deviant]Thanks for all the great advice so far guys![/QUOTE]DBA4000 front only
-Standard Discs until you flog the crap out of them...

Elig RS600 fast road / track pads front
Bendix Ultimates will do (and the're cheap) or Ferodo DS2500 (both are a good comprimise for Road / Track

Race brakes comp 2 rear
-Leave Standard pads in the rear as most braking is done by the front anyway.

22mm, adjustable rear anti-roll bar and heavy duty mounts
Heavy duty mounts not needed to start off with (wait till you break the standard ones) - get the whiteline links for the rear swaybar if you can.

Front Camber Bolts - will definately help with turn in.
Anti - Lift Kit with the money saved
A front 22mm Sway Bar if funds allow.

[B]A Proper Wheel Alignmen[/B]t - Bob at Wheels World gives P-WRX members a discount.

In fact ask Bob OR John at Wheels World or any other Whiteline dealer what the "[B]Whiteline Handling Pack[/B]" goes for. I think thats around $1000.
Very good bang for the buck and you save a bit instead of buying parts individually.
The Tenagah workshop also does a similar package.

Concentrate on getting your car handling reasonably well, its far more fun tying together some fast corner speeds and reducing understeer than just making the thing go fast and stop well!!!

Hahaha...we seem to be following each others footsteps man, you picked up a WRX? I'm going to be in the market for one in about 6 months :D

Just to throw my 2c in.

For AHG use an improved street pad like Bendix Ultimate or Ferrodo DS1200 is ideal, DS2500 is more suited to track use where the street pad would overheat. The street pad will work better at AHG, the >1min track time won't overheat them, but they've got good friction from cold. Last thing you want is a wooden pad for half your run. If you're changing up to a serious track pad for Barbagallo use, you'll need to match the friction of the front pads to the rear (when hot). If the rear pads stay cool, you might be OK with a street pad on the rear, but otherwise you'll end up with front pads doing all the work, leading to an imbalance in braking force and increased stopping distances.
