Recommend Me Some Brakes (06 Hawkeye wrx)
Discussion
So after a month or so of ownership, the only thing I'm really not that happy with are the brakes. For me it's the only thing about the car that I'm not getting on with.
The car was serviced before I picked it up, and while the pads weren't changed they were checked, so I will for now assume everything is fine and working correctly down there (but may well check myself before spending any money).
It's been on my mind for a while now, but after going for a run out this morning the brakes just don't fill me with the confidence to press on with car properly, they feel too progressive for my liking, I would much rather have a sharper (more on/off) response and use a lighter touch for regular/every day driving. At the moment it feels like I need to bury my foot into the carpet. Not sure if this is normal or not with these cars in standard guise as I'm completely new to them.
The car isn't going to be tracked so I really don't think I need to go down the expensive big brake kit route but I definitely want to feel a big improvement over the standard brakes I currently have.

Has any one had any experience with EBC stuff? The link above seems like it could do the trick but other recommendations/suggestions would be welcome.
I'd also probably add some good quality fluid and braided hoses whilst at it.
Would I notice a real difference with something like this?
