Default MY04 Brakes

Hey guys,

Looking to do a brake upgrade on my 04 wrx.... Im looking at putting brembo discs and calipers.

I have been quoted approx $2,500 and was wondering if anyone knows if that is a reasonable price?

Have also been told there will be a slight mod on the back two, because there is an issue in fitting the larger discs, has anyone else encountered this problem???

Cheers guys,
Minch

That's around the going price...depends a bit on condition of rotors & pads...new or used?
Simple mod on rears isn't an issue...many have done it...dogbone I'm assuming..
