ok i want to upgrade calipers rotors and pads for my car!!!

I HAVE NO IDEA WHAT I AM DOING!!!

i know i already have steel braided brake lines... they are going on an 03 wrx...

i want to go with a bigger caliper and slotted or drilled rotors or even both if they make those... i really want 4 pots or whatever is good int the front and 2 pots in the rear... like i said idk what i am saying!!!

what kind or rotors?
What kind of Calipers?
What kind of pads?

 

Uhm I'm sure this will come up in folowing post so..

How much you willing to spend and wheel fitment also needs to be considered. Are you running stocks, aftermarket, or willing to get bigger wheels if needed. Also what do you plan on doing with your car track, dd, spirited. Guess that question goes with how much your willing to spend.

 

well im willing to save!!! lets put it that way!!! im not really sure how much!!! cause im not sure where the ball park range is. so im thinking max 3 grand... is that enough?

um wheel fitment won't be a problem... they are going behind 18x9 rota torques which i believe have an offset of 35!!!

 

How bout what you plan on doing? Just for show?!,track, spirited?

With 3k I know there are some big brake kits that cost that alone for the front. I have an 06 with the 4pots-2 in the rear. Ocassionaly on the track and mountain runs. With lines and pads and it suits my needs for now. I mean there's always improvment for braking, but again does the job for my outings.

 

Are you planning on tracking the car HARD? Or is it just going to be a street/light track duty car? If option B, then just do stainless steel lines, good rotors (DBA if you want to go with the top ones, but you probably wont even use them to their full potential) and some new rotors. There's no need for a BBK unless you're really going to be tracking the car hard.

 

well its my DD and i plan on starting autox.... as well i would like to see quite a bit of the track... but i want it to have a clean look and good stopping power!!!

im not really sure where i want to take my car so its kind of hard for me to say... that is about the best i can do... is that enough info? i can try harder

 

I would say don't waste your money on a BBK, just do lines, rotors, and pads. Those will be fine for your setup/use.

 

What is bbk? Bigger brake kit?

So your saying stick with stock calipers

 

+1 on just the pads/rotors/lines. That's all I did to my lgt and was more then enough for spirited drives and occasional auto-x.

Endless SSS pads! Aha bit pricey but I loved uhm.

 

ok so my next ? is what kind and size rotors to get next? and what kind of pads... one obviously is endless^^^...

 

+1


i have a rotora BBK the four piston one

over kill for autoX and street

after a full session on a track there is no brake fade so im happy with it

 

get akebono ACT pads
they are teh same ceramics and they make it for endless just with out the cool paint job

get fluid too motul is fine

if you want to have the best get castrol srf

stock rotors are fine
AEM makes a big rotor kit though

 

well see im actually looking at brembos or the 06 wrx upgrade.... would that still be overkill?

 

no but more $$$$$$$$

06 wrx rotors are teh same size

 

no i was meaning 06 calipers... cause aren't the 06 calipers 4-pistons in the front?

and no 06 wrx rotors are not the same size as 03... i found this out the hard way!!!
