Max - They sent Axxis Ultimate because that was the best fit for your year/month model car. So I hope they work out for you!!

Thanks,
Brian

Max - Actually you should invest in a polish that prevents brake dust.....I can't remember the name of it right now but you but it on your wheels like a wax and then it will prevent brake dust from settling on the wheels. You might want to try looking for something like that.

Thanks,
Brian

P.S. I tried getting the Poterfields for you but they said they wouldn't work.

Stoked!
I wanted Axxis Ultimates anyway. Dust washes off easy enough.
Your wheels are Anthracite anyway, you can leave the dust on for months and not notice!
I tried waxing my wheels in an effort to control dust between washings, didn't make much of a difference.

bringndefinitio - OK bud I just got off the phone with Stoptech and we came up with a way for you and others to test fit if the BBK will work with after market wheels. IF you already have the Volk se37's in your hands then you can use this method to test fit them....if you don't have them in your hands then let me know and we can just call the makers of Volk and talk with them.

OK if you do have them follow this... go to www.stoptech.com and look near the bottom for the link that says "Wheel fitment chart" and then click on Subaru and you will see a chart that you can print out to test fit your wheels to see if the kit will work.

Let me know if you still don't have the Volk's and I will call the makers for you!!

OH AND I TALKED WITH THE MAN IN CHARGE AT STOPTECH ABOUT THE ISSUE OF THE REAR BBK BEING NIXED AND HE SAYED THAT IT IS STILL ON FOR THE REAR BBK TO BE MADE AND THEY ARE STILL TRYING TO HAVE IT OUT FOR THE SEMA SHOW!!! This is coming straight from the guy that makes all the calls!!

Thanks,
Brian

Are these deals still going on?

Which brake kit is better, AEM or stoptechs?

I need brakes bad. Just call me Fred Flintstone cause my foot sure feels like his.

Icon25rs - LOL....Fred Flintstone....yes this deal is still going on!!

I think that the Stoptechs are a better deal in my opinion and those would be the brakes of choice!! Please let me know which way you were leaning be it the BBK or the Stage 1 or 2.

Also, please let me know which year model car you have....and if an 03 WRX let me know which month and year it was made in.

Thanks,
Brian
