the stop is huge ,massive ,if i put the brake hard i will hit the front glass,,lol,, my friend had them to his racing e30 with m5 engine and sell them to me only 500 eyro and with the install

That's not bad you got great braking power there now , what braking fluid are you using with them

That disc mounting surface looks like swiss cheese though! Which sadly makes me wonder just how strong your mounts are!

i dont remember ..but i think is D0T4,,i will search tomorrow what fluid i put

Looks good mate. They don't work on the Evo though, my M3 stops quicker than my Evo with that brake set up.

I was going to put dot4 and braded hose on to my touring soon, that's a nice look m3 you got there falkster

cheers mate

I think dot 4, braided hoses and a good set of fast road pads would be the best route first. If you could get an Evo or Porsche brembo set up cheap it might be worth doing but otherwise it's very expensive.

there's loads in the gallery mate. There's some on page one from recently and some on page 3.

Yeah cost may be a lot , il go for the dot4 ans hose first, never none a trackday would like to over here in jersey we don't have any think, got to get the car to uk or France for a trackday one day

Ok falkster il go take a look

That's because the Lancer, like the Impreza, have fashion calipers. They're designed to look huge through the gaps in your wheels, rather than to actually be good brakes. Lancer/Impreza brake upgrades tend to be smaller, but far better, calipers.

thought about putting evo 10 calipers/discs on my e30 since a freind has some he cooked and replaced with ap's.

Two things put me off. The size was obscene. And the price to replace said cooked discs/pads

The best thing that Evo/Impreza calipers have going for them is their availability. Other than that, they're nothing special (least of all the Scoob parts as they're widely acknowledged to be a particularly bad Brembo design).

Thats what my friend said about the ones on his 6, 7, 8 and 9 but he wreckoned the 10's as tehy were radically redesigned. They just shat themselves when he started making big power.

Sadly it's true for both cars. They put more priority on making the things look impressive when you were standing still than they did on making them actually slow the car down well.

i dont know how they work on the evo/impreza but on the e30 they work a lot
