many many options

for a daily driver upgraded pads and good fluid are the basics for good pedal feel, stainless steel brake lines are good too.

holy crap $800 ???? Are these Brembos or something?

many, many vendors can do brake packages (rotors, pads, lines, fluid) for cheaper than that, check out the vendor forums for some great deals, call gino/soren at mpj

I have an 02 wrx and just had the stoptech stage 2 upgrade put on...it includes stoptech slotted rotors for the front and rear, axxis ultimate pads, stainless steel lines and motul high performance brake fluid. the difference is awesome compared to stock. the pedal feels much better. the car stops easier and quicker and its just much better. i payed 520 for the whole thing. check out www.scoobytuner.com. Its the closest brake kit that has the reliability to stock and it really is worth the money. the only thing im doing from here is gettin the subaru 4pots up front and ill be set as far as brakes.
