Because Racecar

helluva deal right there!

As I've found...some. The stockers only fit when I removed the balancing weights from the rim. I will have to be very selective in my wheels choices...

These things are huge. And they work. Best part is that they're completely benign in normal use, but stomp on them and they just kill speed like a boss.

No kidding! I have some other wheels, but I tried to put them on and they didn't clear the calipers. Curses. So those will be up for sale. Sigh. Also, now there's a clunk. Possibly related to the calipers, or the new 20mm rear sway. This needs investigating.

Heh. It gets dark early and stays dark late, but here ya go! http://i.imgur.com/vnxT1p9h.jpg

Got some more air out of the rear left. Brakes are solid. Car nose dives just a bit more now.... =0)

For those keeping score, the car is drivable. The pedal still doesn't have really solid feel. I can still kick off the ABS, and the car definitely stops. Quickly. Going to try bleeding again tomorrow. Hope I kicked any air left out to the lines.

I did, but last night realized my mistake. I bled the rears until the fluid was cleared out, then I bled the fronts. I had no pedal pressure, and assumed it was the newly installed empty calipers, so I rebled the fronts, but assumed the rears were OK. Turns out I did not take into account Subaru's crossed brake system. The air from the replaced hard line was drawn into the rear left line at some point. I bled the rear enough to get clear fluid, but the air hadn't reached the bleeder, or was stuck in the ABS block. Bleeding the fronts after that did not move it out that way, either. So last night I did a tedious semi-gravity bleed, which is marginally effective on those front calipers, but still works great on the rears. After a while I had almost a whole brake line length of air cone out the rear left. Definitely enough to make a squishy pedal. Was too late to start the car up and see how the pedal felt last night, but this evening I'll report back.

Dual bleeders, both pointed up.

On every car I've ever owned up to this one? Perfectly. Why would I have any reason to believe that this one car is different from the other 31 cars I've owned and bled brakes on? None, I'd say. And shut up, yes, I have a condition.

I've never heard that, always heard start furthest from the hydraulics.

Yeah. Rear R, rear L, front R, front L. Outer bleeder first.

Well, this is turning into the brake kit install from hell. There are a couple minor issues, those we can cover later if we can solve the major issue. I got the calipers installed, finally bled, no air in the lines (though I could try the rears again) but I have almost no brake pedal pressure. The car will come to a stop, but the pedal is on the floor and its not locking up the wheels. This is a 4 piston kit, supposed to work with the stock master on a WRX. Are those bigger than ours? Do I need a prop valve to balance the f/r pressure? I may be taking the kit off and trying to resell it at this point, I'm out of ideas for the Subaru. Definitely not as easy to solve as the Vette... Help...

Wait, what am I lookin' at?? I feel ya. I've got a list of other parts going on, and a tune is not in my future until post-winter, so the DP is staying in the box until warmer weather (and better tires). Will be interesting to see if this is a design flaw that needs addressed by Nameless. Is this the third one that's been installed?

Interesting. Also interesting that the first one is up in the classifieds already. Someone got spooked?
