Enhancing what's behind your wheels...

Our internet department just upgraded the "brakes" section of our website. We carry some nice pads and even the Brembo and ProDrive 4-pot upgrades. It's worth a quick look if you've been considering brakes at all - I put the Hawk HPS pads on the front of my wagon with excellent results.

Here's the link to the brakes section.

Let me know if you need any recommendations and I'd be happy to help you out.

(I'll move this post to the "brakes" forum on Monday - just wanted to give you guys a heads-up

Dexter,

Will the Hawk pads fit on a 2004 WRX Sedan? The Tirerack website does not have any info on the '04. Thanks!

On the 17x8 wheels - doesn't look good. An 8" wheel is a stretch but should fit the sedan in offset 48-52.

On the Hawks - There's a difference in WRX replacement pads starting in '03. I'll get you an ETA on '03 and '04 Hawk fitments next week...

On the pads on '03 and '04 WRX - the difference is in the tab placement as well as the geometry on the bottom edge of the pad. Hawk and EBC are working on the tooling for the pads, but they aren't expected until late this summer.

On the P1s - they will fit in 17 and 18" with the Brembo GT kit (328mm rotor).

If you wish to view this thread again, it'll be in the "brakes" section this afternoon.

Any news on the availability of brake parts (rotors and pads) for the '04 WRX?

Thanks

Rotors are the same for all years of WRX...pads are the same as the 03 WRX

I have an 02RS, and I have the same problem (uses the same pad as the 03 WRX)
