Actually, the Stoptech kit has a smaller front piston area than stock, so it should actually require less distance to create the same pressure. This effecively shifts 10% bias to the rear which the WRX is in need of.

You can read about this ad nausium in the Gary puts Dean in his place, I mean brake thread burried somewhere around here... I'd search, but don't really want to find it.
I've blocked out much of that thread... except for the part where I remember all of us getting owned.

All I remember is that after all that discussion, and all the other reading around I did, the StopTech kit was the one I wanted: it's specifically designed for the WRX, and to work with the WRX rear/master cylinger/brake booster, and it's well race tested. Plus it's not as expensive as many other kits.
