What to do?
I have a 2001 RS and am trying to decide whether I should buy stock size Brembo rotors or do the WRX upgrade from scoobymods. What do you guys think?

I think you should rtfm or search online for info on both of these kits. Plenty of info out there. Decide for yourself based off the info.

I have done the research, I was just wondering what everybodies opinion was. The brembo kit seems cheaper but the WRX/Legacy conversion gives me the bigger rotors which might look better with my 17"s.

Get the WRX conversion kit. The stock size brembo rotors aren't any better than what you have.

I had the brembo stock size drilled rotors and performance pads. It was much better than just stock.

Then I left the drilled brembo rears and got the Stoptech fronts and It was way better again. Brembo stock size fronts would fade after about 6-7 hard stops (60-5mph), and the stoptechs were still going strong after 10 consecutive hard breaking.
