What is exactly that “brembo option” at 1400$ cad because it looks really cheap price wise.

Good rotors and appropriate pads will helps a lot. Couple that with stainless lines and cyl brace and you have a nice setup.

The big brake brembo kits are more in the 3,000$US new 4 pots and not sure about used. Let’s say that those are the big game.

I won’t even talk about the VA sti’s 6 pots because the wheels choices are even more limited.

Here’s a pic of my kit (all bolt on for VA)

So the calipers are PowerStop or Nugeon reman brembos from the VA chassis with PowerStop or Raybestos slotted rotors and Z16 pads. I also saw a possible option of going the 2008-2014 STI route as PowerStop as the S3698 and S3780 calipers but from what I found the rotors aren’t the same size.
I have experience with PowerStop from doing a 370Z Akebono conversion on my Juke Nismo and never had issues.

 

Honestly, if you arent looking for a big increase in stopping power, and arent tracking the car. I would do exactly what Maximus said. Good rotors and pads, Stainless lines, and good brake fluid like motul. That alone will increase your brake feel and performance at a fraction of the cost.

 

I'll agree with others and say for a daily you don't need to get fancy. I had looked into a similar upgrade but realized fresh brake fluid and good pads will be all that I need. I went with Akebono pads, EBC rotors and ATE Typ 200 fluid.

Have yet to do my brakes but should be soon now that it's warming up. Can't wait as the current setup sucks, and scares my brother

 

I forgot to mention that Calipers integrity is very important too. It needs to be properly working in order to get that good pedal feeling. If a slider or piston is not properly moving it will affect the effectiveness of the setup.

Since the stock calipers are plain steel, they tend to rust pretty fast on a daily here with winter. What I usually do once in while is refresh the whole calipers by exchanging them at my auto part store, I give them the olds and they give me refurbished (oem subaru) refresh painted black. The price is stupid cheap and I get a fully working calipers and fresh new look without touching anything.

Overall, the most logical choice for a daily driver that wants to improve would be;
-Fresh Fluid
-Master Cylinder Brace
-Stainless lines
-Quality pads
-Quality Rotors
-Refurbished Calipers

I added DBA rotors and Faction Fab brake pads and they have been great. I am upgrading the stock brake lines with new stainless steel braided lines in a few weeks. I have looked at the Brembo packages out there but think I might do the kit that Fastwrx has for the 2015-2021 wax. Its four piston front and 2 piston rear that fits under stock 18x8.5" wheels.

 

Do you uses this car on the Track, if no I suggest you leave it stock and upgade the pads

 

They are very clearly 4-pot.

 

I thought so, I was just checking and thank you for responding.
