I am at Prodrive tomorrow at the invite of a director. so I am going to ask for discs and pads at trade price!!

[gazzab]

Godspeed have confirmed:-
"I can supply you a disc and bell set up to replace the one piece discs that
come with your kit , the discs are £450 a pair , but when the discs need
replacing you re-use the bells again , the discs are £135 each from then on.
Delivery is £10

You can have them grooved , drilled or both at no extra cost , but if you
are going to do track days then I would go for grooved only as the holes can
start cracking

I can supply the DS2500 pads for £130 a set"

Hmmmm. so not sure what to do now.
Prodrive at 490 for discs plus 330 for pads. Or slightly cheaper for godspeed discs but much cheaper next time round plus much cheaper pads. Maybe the 3rd option is to go for prodrive discs and DS2500 pads.
Decisions?!?!

gazzab thats two of us now that have come out of a cerb and into a impreza.
on the topic of wheels prodrive also recommend 18s for my sti ppp along with uprated springs (also prodrive) they say it actually improves the ride! and gives better turn in .

One of the main problems with the Prodrive disks is that they tend to get bad judder (what most people call warping) way before the disk is worn out - in my case I had used less than half of the available thickness in about 20,000 miles I guess.
The reason for this is likely to be the fact that they are a single unit, rather than a bell and rotor, which means that any heat is transmitted through the bell, and there is no way of allowing the rotor to expand like you can with a 2 piece setup.

Everyone I personally know with the Prodrive brakes has ended up with this problem, so given a choice, I would suggest you go for either the Godspeed or KAD(Scoobysport) setup.
The KAD units were designed specifically to solve the problem that owners were having with the Prodrive Alcons
