Hey all, Ive had a quick look through some of the posts still unsure as to what would be a worthwhile upgrade to my generic gen 3 brake set up as my lib dosnt stop anywhere near as well as i had expected it too..

So an ideas as well as cost and fitment difficulty would be awsome.

Cheers,
Nick

change your brake fluid, pads and rotors.

I think mine stops really well. Good balance too.

As alexxx mentioned, make sure what you have is in top condition.

If I told you I was a compulsive liar, would you believe me?

My RS impreza also uses the 266mm two port brakes and I was happy with it's braking performance, new pads and fluid and it was a massive improvement! I only used nulon that was like $8 a bottle.

Try that before doing any upgrades :)

Try pushing the brake pedal harder.

You will be surprised what it can do.
