Brakes???
What's everyone running with now and how do you like them? I'd like to upgrade my brakes soon.

Im running Stoptech and love them. They not only resist fading very well but the price you can get them are really good.
Some have a package deal that includes;
Front Stoptech kit drilled or slotted.
Dot front and rear Stoptech stainless brake lines
Motul fluid
rear brembo/eurorotor or equivitant drilled stock replacement.
All for $1695
Downside is you must have 17" rims so if you plan on offroad or snow driving you either need to take them off to run 15-16" rims or go with something that accepts them.

I've got the 4-pot 22b brake kit up front with DBA5000 rotors, stainless lines & STi pads (for street). In back, I have the 2-pot 22b brake kit, also with STi pads & stainless lines. I'm using Motul DOT4 fluid & speedbleeders. Also have MRT master cylinder brace. Car stops.
I used Porterfield R-4 pads for the last track day - have some issues - the pads have evidence of cracking after just a single days runs.

Brakes are made of many components. I can run Wilwood calipers on stock rotors, or brembo rotors with stock calipers. Are we talking an entire system change front and rear, or just front?

I have the StopTech Kit on my WRX and I have the Subaru 4pot fronts and 2pot rears on my RS.
Btw, ctkag, where did you get the red 22B calipers? I have been looking for those for quite sometime. I ended up having to go with the stock black calipers.

my brakes
Legacy B4 RSK caliper +RG slit rotor +AP Lockheed ZC pads
works great to me.
I use it on street / canyon / track. It works well in any situation.
I expected the AP Lockheed pads to be noisy but it doesn't make any noise. Dust is not too annoying too.
Now that I got used to performance pads, my next pads will be Endless CCR.
Addicted the performance pads, can't go back to stock anymore.
