Pros:
better braking power over stock brakes
Cons:
excessive brake dust, guess amount of shims, misleading vendor, modification of calipers, long installation times
A ok product at best. Custom product made for the 2002 WRX wheels. The front kit fits completely under the stock 16 X 6.5 WRX Impreza 2002 Wheels.
Benefits:
- Increased braking distance when stopping.
- Made to use with the stock WRX Wheels.
Cons:
- Terrible vendor to work with. iON Performance.
- Long shipping times.
- Multiple surcharges for out of country shipments
- Misleading advertisement on kit that required no modification. Advertised as a bolt-on.
- Calipers require to be modified so rotor does not rub with caliper
- Usage of shims needed so rotor does not rub with caliper. Since shims were estimated, this required trial and error installations.
- With multple trial and error installations, multple test drives required.
- Long installation times. Required 8 hours of trial and error installation to make it work correctly.
- Combination of rotor and pad choice leads to excessive brake dust
- If purchased with rear kit, mismatching front and rear calipers.
- Lot of squealling at low speed applications
- Removal or Modification of front dust shield needed to make kit install correctly.

Pros:
Awesome braking power over stock or other alternatives
Cons:
More brake dust then stock
These are MUCH better then any other options available to fit the factory wheels (16x6.5").
- Much better response from the vehicle (more nible handling)
- "Crisp" acceleration
- Was not able to fade the brakes for lapping days or driving schools.
None of the "cons" mentioned in the above review were apparent except for more brake dust was noticed compared to stock.
