Hi All.

I'm currently in the need of replacing my brakes and i came across these, has any one got any reviews, or any idea if they are any good?

Doesn't work because it's not complete.. missing half the web address


I'm guessing it's brakes for a 05 GX Impreza.. I would suggest slotted rotors and good quality pads.

haha.. that's better :)


Ok firstly these are for the 2.5 model, you'll need to check the outside diameter of these against yours. Also the pads may be different, as thses may suit the 2 pot calliper.

I would say however, if they fit, go for it but I'm not a fan of cross drilled (personal opinion due to seeing may in pieces due to failure) I believe slotted will do you fine.

Thanks mate, The question at hand is about Powerstop Brakes themselves. I haven't come across them before.

Ok no worries.. if it was the company you were wanting reviews on then I would have worded it like this...

I would say NFI but being a USA company you might find they don't ship to Aus. I'd send them an email before committing to purchase. Also get quote on freight, as sometimes it may be cheaper (and less headaches) to buy locally in Aus. Ebay Aus has some great deals.
