Default Non abs brake upgrade

Would a Prodrive Alcon upgrade prove beneficial over the standard Subaru 4pots on a non abs model?

Currently running standard callipers with DBA discs and yellow stuff pads and is a good set up..... Would the Alcons make much difference?

Yep huge difference, I did one track day on standard 4 pots with pagid discs and pads, not impressed, yes they work but not well enough on track .
If your not going to push it then only reason I would bother is the appearance , which would look perfect on your car.
I have given mine a fairly hard test now and they are brilliant

Meant to say, have a drive in mine and give the brakes some testing.
It's only then that you will see the difference
