Additionally, a better front brake option may be the 06-07 WRX calipers. They can be cleared by 16" wheels. They're under $700 for the pair (
http://www.gotboostinc.com/su4frbrcasuw.html ), they use the same line fitting as stock sliders. 4 pot monoblock, and it uses the same pad sizes from 02-11 WRX's, huge aftermarket support there. The WRX uses a 295mm vented rotor, and I wouldn't be surprised if the AS1 does as well. I also know that the 4 pots don't suffer from mushy-pedal-syndrome when paired with a stock WRX MC which pushes the same sliding calipers that appear to be on the AS1. To be fair, this does nothing to address rotor size, but if people are all that concerned with actual braking force, this may be a slightly more cost effective option.
