Before you buy, try Alyn at AS Performance mate, you never know what deals he has....

Alyn is on this site, his contact details are on the home page.

Can anyone tell me roughly how long it would take for a garage to fit the discs and brakes? Thanks

Done a bit of shopping around, how about this for a combination? Looks good for under £300

Can someone confirm that these pads and discs would fit a WR1 with standard brakes? Thanks

Yeah basically just want to know if the WR1 uses the same size discs and pads as a normal 2004 STI with Brembo brakes to avoid ordering the wrong ones.

Thanks if anyone can help :)
