With reference to your statement about the Perrin/Wilwood kit being the best option for the price, I would have to disagree there. That specific kit is not offered by Wilwood as a front brake option on a car the weight of a Subaru. You might want to do a search here as well as some of the other SUbaru sites about peoples experiences with that kit. The Subaru STi 4pot kit uses the same rotor and is near the same price and was designed for our vehicles. IMO the STi kit is the better option, with the only downside being weight vs the Perrin/Wilwood kit. The 4pot kit however is about 1.1 lbs lighter than the stock WRX 2pots.

LTrainSVT,
AEM rotors are made by Brembo.
Are Brembo's crap and are made for ricers?
Your statements are unjustified and have no proof to back them up. You simply throw AEM into the dirt and stereotype it with some other companies. Not good.

my friend just got a set for his GS-X, he loves them, I haven't driven his car yet with them on there, but he tells me that he likes them a lot...but he just went from stock to these...he hasn't had thing on his car but the stocks so the AEM would definatly be better...as for comparing them to another aftermarket brand..I would be able to tell you.

how would changing the brake torque not change the bias unless you change the front and the rear by equal amounts
