I have been running the front and rear bbk from twr for almost a year now. I have the 4 pots with a 290 rotor up front and the 2 pots with the 310 rotor in the rear. I use these sizes because I like to use my oem wheels w/toyo RA-1s at the track. For pads I use Bobcats on a daily basis but swtich to the panther xp9's for track use.

I have put about 15,000 miles on these brakes and all I can say is they are AWESOME! I have driven porsches, bmw's and mercedes and all had "good" brakes. I felt the wrx had the worst brakes I had ever used until I slapped these puppies on.

For daily driving the set up is quite and smooth. For track use they are even and dependable with no fade. If you track your car, you will love this set up!!!

Jack and Jerry at TWR are stand up guys who support their product and their customers! In fact I had a slight blemish on one of my rear calipers and mentioned it, within a week I received a new caliper and a steel braided clutch line all at no cost.

Their website is still knd of lame, but give them a call and ask them whats what, you won't be sorry.
