  1. http://www.stoptech.com/products/brake-pads Top set was the one I got.
  2. I did a bedding process a few times to try to remove the "deposits" and it never was able to get rid of the shake in the steering wheel. The rotors were shot and the factory pads still had 5+mm of compound all around. I'd never pay the dealer to turn down a rotor when I can pull them off myself and take it to a local auto parts place and have them turned for 10 bucks a piece. I was testing the limits of the gold Warranty I paid for, and the last time it was covered. I installed my the T3's and Stoptechs on Tuesday, did a good bed in and have been taking it easy till I have 187 Miles on the rotors, and already I can notice a huge difference in the feel and responsiveness of the set up. My fluid was flushed a few weeks prior to installing these and its still factory Sube fluid, so I can obviously get a little more out of the set up with better fluid and a Brace for the master. I may or may not do Stainless lines when I change the fluids, but I do have some nice stainless speed bleeders for when I do. As far as over all quality of the components, you definatly get what you pay for with this set up. My buddies father was so impressed with the quality, he's looking for a set for his '11 Audi S4.
  3. Sadly my current rotors are shot and they were already turned down once by Subaru and with the pads supposedly replaced, and they just "warped" or built up deposits faster. I tried seeing if there was something the dealership could do as the car was at 35k with a gold warranty, but they told me there was nothing they could do about it was far as warranty. The rotors were turned down at 14,000 when the first owner had the car, so for them to go bad twice within 30k they're obviously junk. I wouldn't blame it on my driving style either as I never shot the brakes on my 99 legacy throughout my 8 years owning it. I generally got 30k+ out of pads and 60k plus off rotors. I was looking at the centric premiums, as they had them on the website, but I felt the difference in price was justified by the increase in quality for the DBA's. If I was still running the outback I would probably buy those or maybe even run the autozone stuff, but I feel the 09 deserves better. What pads were you running when you wore out your DBA's on the track?
  4. The N.E reference, due to being curious as to how DBA's product stands up to salt. I leaned towards the Stop techs for 2 reasons. Reason one being as I read into pads, Stop Techs were mentioned quite frequently and generally those users had a high rate of satisfaction with that product. the other reason being, I bought rotors and pads from KNS. Now if you look at the price of the rotors at full retail its 304.44 for the fronts and 294.76 for the rears; combined that's 595.20 for 4 rotors at their retail cost. Now they have brake packages for these rotors that include pads. They have the Hawk HPS pads with these rotors for 659.15 or the stop techs for 574.97. Now when you look at the math, im Getting the Stoptech pads for free, and im saving 21 dollars on the retail price of the rotors. In my mind that's a good deal. Plus I'd rather my money go to Australia vrs china anyday.
  5. Anyone have experience with the DBA T3 Club spec rotors with Stop Tech Street Pads? Possibly up in the New England area.
  6. ----------------------------------------------------------------------------- What size tires? Its very hard to find a Legacy with these wheels on them, ive been looking for a while, your pictures just continue to convince me that these are the ones.
