Does the WR1 have the same brakes as the STI or did they uprate them?

I think they are the same,there not bad but i thought they would be much better,my mate has a wrx ppp and he's had the prodrive brakes fitted and they are much better than the brembo's,but i think ive got the best from them now with decent pads,hose's and fluid.
I was very suprised that ive had to change the hose's and fluid,i mean were talking about a car with 320 bhp its hardly your normal road car

Do the mintex pads give off as much dust as the standard ones?

They ARE in the same league (performance wise) just not the same price bracket!
Anyone know how much the Prodrive brakes are?

I guess prodrive were given a budget by IM and the brake convertion would have made the car too much.
I think if i was going to do mine i'd put the AP ones on.

Do any of the WRC teams use Tarox? Do any of the F1 teams? Nope they all use Alcon or AP. Make your own judgement based on that. In my view Tarox are styling accesories, AP and Alcon are proper kit.
