yeah if i were desparate and what if i didn't hold at the track day no brakes=me in to wall then no car

 

suby dude sells 03-spec pads. give him a call/email tonight and see if he can't miracle some out here. Doubt it, though.

 

Just ride with your stock brakes (unless they are gone). When I went out in April (BMW club) I drove on stock brakes and also did the long track. I'm not sure how long the track sessions will be on Saturday, but we did 20 minutes sessions and while I did experience brake fade I hung in there and got a little creative on slowing the car down from 100+ -> 30. I also left myself more room to slow down rather then pushing it to the limit.

 

greg who is subydude and where do i get in contact with this guy
and Tim yeah looks like thats what i will most likely be doing heh at least i got some fluid.

 

Click ME!

He's the original i-club vendor. He's located in the Bay Area.

 

The 02 and 03 WRX are physically different in the ends where there is a little metal tab that is larger on the newer models.

However, I believe that the 02 RS uses the same pad size as the 03 WRX. But that doesn't help your cause out much.

I've listed who you can buy pads from, but I am not going to spoon feed you. Just use google to find out who sells them. There is only one company.

 

Don't worry teiva-boy i no baby i checked them out and emailed them but for my lack of preparation and with so little time left till the track day looks like i'll be going w/ the stock pads thanks for your help.

 

Sway bars are a must. Without them, bodyroll is endless. There's a good and quick breakdown of how they work here: http://www.howstuffworks.com/question432.htm

 

Daymn Mario you are slacking over there
I guess I don't have a wife and kid so I have more time to mess around... Anyhow, when I was looking for my pads the only offering I could find for the '03 is the Carbotech-- Subydude sells them. I think most of the other manufactures don't have an application yet, at least none that I could find. So did you get your lines and fluid? I know you can find fluid at the very least, I know Andy's has it cheap. BTW, I'm going to do my brakes today, give my a call and maybe we can tag team both of our cars.

 

dude i am so down w/ that ,can we do a flushing of the system together i have all the instructions for flushing the system on my laptop and the brakes ain't no probolem. yeah all i ended up getting was the fluid, subydude could only get the pads to me on sat at 10am do u think i should go for it?? nah i just go on stock pads w/ fluid

 

stock pads will still fade on you on the short course.. not near as bad as the long course though (the cause of my spin-out... kinda). Greg's pads were SMOKING and fuming on tantalus- of course, so was his wife! ("HE's NEVER DOING THIS AGAIN.....)

 

dude don't say that are trying to scare me

 

The short course is fine on the stock pads. It's the long course that I would suggest you sit out of. Sure you'll fade towards the end of the run, but it'll take it just fine. A good driver will know to start to brake eariler since his brakes are now fading.


EDIT: I would change your fluid though so as to not boil your existing fluid and introduce steam into your system and then lock your brakes Not a good thing
