Get the Subaru 4-pots and don't look back...
Those and the rest of what you're talkin' about rocks....that's what I got.

Lotsa people didn't like all the noise of the Perrins....they are, really, track brakes....and the Subaru 4-pots are just about as bomb proof as can be had.

isn't brake noise usually caused by the type of pad not the caliper?

The Subie ones????

They ARE cast iron...like the stockers....but that's IT...

Deflection???? Wobble???? THAT'S the Perrin/Wilwoods....NOT the Subie ones.

$700 includes everything you need. The pads and rotors that come with the kit are GREAT, especially considering they only cost $200 for pads AND rotors.

Those Subaru 4-pots are for the WRX correct? They just require aftermarket wheels to fit under?

noise

I have had the new perrins on for months and not a peep from them, people ask me about it and wonder. I use them with DBA rotors and ss lines f&r it is seems to work fine.

I would stay away from the DBA rotors. I've heard of cracking issues with these. Cross-drilled rotors are just for bling. I'm going to with some Carbotech or maybe Stop-tech slotted rotors.

Sorry about that. I thought that DBA only made slotted and drilled ones. I'm sure their slotted brakes are fine.
