toolbox1 Posted August 5, 2010 Share Posted August 5, 2010 Let me start off by saying I have a 2008 Legacy 2.5i with 60k.....I'm about to change the brakes for the first time and was looking for a recommendation for rotors....I thinks I'm going to run Hawk HPS's but should I stick with the OEM rotor? If so what's the oem part #? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RochNY91TSI Posted August 5, 2010 Share Posted August 5, 2010 Go with whatever you find cheapest. It's not going to make any difference to run an expensive rotor Check out fredbeansparts.com for decent pricing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DocHolladay23 Posted August 5, 2010 Share Posted August 5, 2010 I was going to say ebay, you can get a set of all 4 drilled/slotted for about $180 shipped, got a buddy who has them and he says they're legit. But FBP is the man so I'll second what Roch said. [sIGPIC][/sIGPIC] You want stickers? Hit me up here!!! You want a shirt? Hit me up here!!!

Xenonk Posted August 6, 2010 Share Posted August 6, 2010 for a 2.5i, OEM brakes are fine.. I think http://www.brakeswap.com has a list somewhere for OEM blanks. If not, you can also look into "upgrading" to GT brakes if you have the rims to fit over them. Keefe Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Drift Motion Posted August 6, 2010 Share Posted August 6, 2010 if your not tracking your car generic rotor is fine get some good pads and fluid Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Drew888 Posted August 6, 2010 Share Posted August 6, 2010 And if you are tracking, NAPA premium blanks!! [URL="http://legacygt.com/forums/vbpicgallery.php?do=view&g=1586"VbGallery/URL] Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Th3Franz Posted August 7, 2010 Share Posted August 7, 2010 Centric premiums have been great for me and are inexpensive. The e-coating is better than most other rotors on the market -Franz The end of a Legacy http://www.youtube.com/th3franz Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pijanica84 Posted August 8, 2010 Share Posted August 8, 2010 I'm in the same boat. I looked at the rotors that tirerack.com offers and they seem decent and less costly than others. Any advice? Also does anyone have a walkthrough for a brake service or video? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Th3Franz Posted August 8, 2010 Share Posted August 8, 2010 You can get the Centric premiums through Tirerack. That's where I buy mine and they are good quality for the price -Franz The end of a Legacy http://www.youtube.com/th3franz Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
boymk123 Posted August 8, 2010 Share Posted August 8, 2010 save money and go with OEM rear: 26700AG01B front: 26300AG01A Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Catalyst Posted August 8, 2010 Share Posted August 8, 2010 You can get the Centric premiums through Tirerack. That's where I buy mine and they are good quality for the price Do those come with the painted centers like in the pics? Im debating these or the OE blanks on brakeswap.com "This is an adventure."

Th3Franz Posted August 8, 2010 Share Posted August 8, 2010 Yes the Centric premium rotors have hats that are e-coated along with the cooling vanes. For comparison I should take pics of my DBA 4000's after one winter Fronts are $67 each and rears are $44 each You might be able to find them even cheaper on Amazon.com -Franz The end of a Legacy http://www.youtube.com/th3franz Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Drew888 Posted August 9, 2010 Share Posted August 9, 2010 Wow...nice $ [URL="http://legacygt.com/forums/vbpicgallery.php?do=view&g=1586"VbGallery/URL] Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
spartan Posted August 9, 2010 Share Posted August 9, 2010 Looks like they are the same price on amazon, but you get free shipping. The centric part numbers are 120.47024 and 120.47025. Total for 4 rotors comes to $215 shipped. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
toolbox1 Posted August 9, 2010 Author Share Posted August 9, 2010 Shipping on tire-rack for me was 50 bucks (sending from 2 locations).....I think that's a little crazy no? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

toolbox1 Posted August 17, 2010 Author Share Posted August 17, 2010 Are you looking at the rotors for the 2.5gt? They are slightly more money than the 2.5i Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
toolbox1 Posted August 24, 2010 Author Share Posted August 24, 2010 So I finally got around to swapping my brakes (rotors and pads) this past weekend. Overall it was very easy...one problem I ran into. The bolts which attach the caliper to the brake assembly were torq'd so high. I had a very difficult time loosing them and infact had to tap the wrench loose with a lump hammer. Overall very happy with them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
