Yes my brakes are awfull too! Need uprated pretty soon.
Wow 400bhp, heard its the torque that kills them. And I suppose its down to how its driven. As a daily driver who uses the power every now and then shouldn't be too bad?
ive got
walbro 255
3port boost sol
sti injectors
sti up pipe
td05 18g
sti intercooler
decat downpipe and full system
im hoping for 330bhp
then save for a 6 speed
I'm running a standard Bug WRX engine with TD05 18G, front mount, roger clark headers, STi pink injectors with FPR etc. plus a big slug of 50/50 water and meth injection.
Road dyno at 403 BHP.
Killed two 5 speed boxes and now on a jap 6 speed.
The standard brakes are shocking and can't even cope with the PPP (c260 bhp) - I would spend money on these before getting extra power - as they say power is nothing withour control - you'll never be able to use it effectively
276bhp/314 lb ft on a TD04, walbro pump, panel filter, 3 port, fully decatted up/down pipes, remapped by Dunc at RCM 3 weeks ago.
I'm running nearly this on a classic wagon with decat (standard uppipe), panel filter and Walbro. 280/310 to be precise. Bob Rawle map. Said the box should cope all day long, not sure what the newage 5 speed is like strength wise. Depends if you launch or cane it everywhere...

My last bug was 332/329 with VF35/STI topmount & Pinks with an OS remap and the standard 4 pots are SHOCKING with anything around this power, Got brake fade very very quickly with a bit of spirited driving

I personally wouldn't be driving that too hard in anger, put it that way.
Mine's running approx 287/307 at the moment, would like about 320ish but then you ask yourself is it worth the expense/risk? The standard brakes can't handle being driven hard with the power it's got now, for a start.
