Not exactly my mod plans, but oh well...Brake upgrade.

[the mike]

So the wagon front brakes were perilously close to being metal on metal when I washed the car on Monday. The rotors were pretty torn up too, so I decided to take care of the brakes before I really did some damage.
I would like to thank Manny, Moe, and Jack's speed shop for the parts.
EBC dimpled and slotted rotors and Hawk pads.

I didn't know hawk pads could be had at pep boys.

Nice curb rash by the way... :mrgreen:

[the mike]

Shut up you, I didn't put it there.
Yes, both Hawk pads and EBC Green/Red pads, plus the afore mentioned EBC rotors can be had at PepBoys.

Didn't you have brembos? :wiggle:

[the mike]

Yes I did. They sucked. The WRX brakes are bettAr!!!!

[MuddyREX]

Shut up you, I didn't put it there.

Don't look at mine!!!!

[wrx_snobordr]

Hey, how much they set ya back? Mine make this excellent grinding noise and im assuming its the rotors because the pads be new!

[joe tom]

i too will be needin a price on them there fancy rotors, if you don't mind.

[sisforsurfing]

I never congratulated you on the car, so... :partyman:

Nice brakes, +1 for what you paid if you don't mind.

[TalonTsi97]

They look good. Paint your calipers and they will look perfect. :thumbup:

[9 Ball]

Ahh… those rotors look oh so sexy! :cool:

I’m predicting Mike is gonna bring us one of the sickest wagons in the near future. ;)

[ayim01]

those rotors are one time use or can they be turned in the future?

[the mike]

OK guys, sit down...

It was about $330 for the pads and rotors. I was looking online at prices, and that is about par for the course, so I figure I saved on shipping. Now to eventually see what steel braided lines are going for. :rolleyes:

[TehWagon]

color's gonna look good sittin behind the gold wheels when u get them... :thumbup:

[95nracer]

Update please. So how do you like the EBC pads and rotors so far? Bite when cold? Fade?

I think I'm going to go with a set also.

[TehWagon]

i'll speak for him since he can't help but speak for me! :finga:
he still has the rotors (they are VERY noisy) but gave up the hawk pads- i'll let him tell you the name of the replacement but he hated the hawks and likes the new ones much more.
;)

[the mike]

I like the EBC's a ton more than the Hawk's I had on there. Definately more bite when cold. The combo is noisy though. More than I was prepared for. :-p
