Subaru 4 pot calipers
My rex is ready for new pads and I was thinking of just buying the Subaru 4 pot calipers while I was at it.
1. Do any of you guys have these calipers with the factory rear calipers and if so how do you like this setup?
2. To help with the front brake bias what would be a good pad for the rear? The calipers come with pads so do I need to use the same pads in front and rear? If I can mis match I need a pad that doesnt dust a lot and works well in cold weather (what about KVR CF street pads)?
3. will factory rotors and break lines work untill I have the funds to purchase them? I would think I will need new rotors.
4. Without the new lines will this setup be better than the Stoptech stage 1 brake upgrade (I would think so)?
Thanks.

I have these with the larger legacy rear rotors. I had the setup on my RS and now my FX-T and it's working well.

Seems fine w/ the above setup.
3. will factory rotors and break lines work untill I have the funds to purchase them?
Yes
I would think I will need new rotors.
No they are the same ones.

Can't say since I haven;t tried the StopTech
Thanks.
