new brakes!

duckie8310

when we first bought the car, we didnt touch the brakes. maybe resurfaced the rears, but we didnt touch the front rotors. well after driving on the freeway, i started to hear a metal-metal grinding noise. sure enough, the pads had worn down and was rubbing against the rotors. time to change my brakes!!

nothing big, but a little bit more stopping power. and it looks a lot better. my dad used Carbon Metallic on his race car (some of you might remember) so these brakes stopped a lot better.

:thumbup: for new brakes.

my last set of front brakes were Brembo rotors and Hawk HT 10 pads.

looked just like your set-up, stops like tossing out an anchor. after the pads heat up, anyway.

These kinds of upgrades really should be mandatory on the wagons.

I got DBA rotors and EBC greenstuff pads. I will never ever recommend EBC pads to anyone again - they say low brake dust and OK braking from cold but thats a load of crap.

The DBA rotors rock though.

Do the 2wd and 4wd wagons have the same brakes? Some sites list them as the same, some as different.

i have my story with brakes, i just changed into some new set of pads and rotors last night (drilled & slotted)..the damn little rotor screws got stripped. i was there for a long time trying to figure out how to get them bitches out.

finally, i got a power drill and drilled a hole right into the head and it came out quick style..then i went and got some new screws cuz i knew i wasn't gonna be able to use those anymore.

i believe the 4wd rotor is slightly larger..not by much but slightly. (similar to the Ex & Si ef's)

the pads should be the same.
