executor485 Posted November 12, 2010 Share Posted November 12, 2010 can you give us any details on things like price, availability, how much modification it requires, if there is a kit, etc?

pachilla Posted November 12, 2010 Author Share Posted November 12, 2010 can you give us any details on things like price, availability, how much modification it requires, if there is a kit, etc? They look beautiful btw Price: around 4K USD locally. Availability: KIDO mostly sell in Taiwan, China, Hong Kong, Singapore Modification: The rotor dust shields need to be cut Kit?: Mine is custom-built but now KIDO has all the data to put together a kit for 4th gen Legacy/Outback thanks to yours truly What I got? Forged 6-pot calipers (4.6kg/ea with steel adapter) 15 inch (380mm) 2-piece vented front roters (slotted) 9.7kg /ea 14 inch (356mm) 2-piece vented rear rotors (slotted) 11.3kg/ea Steel brake lines x4 Pads are included of course (they are the same as AP Racing) The stock caliper weights around 10kg with pads The stock front rotor weights around 8kg new The stock rear rotor weights around 4.7kg new So the complete front brakes are lighter than stock, but the complete rear brakes are heavier than stock due to the rear rotor being none-ventilated and small. Observations: 1. no squeaks, vibrations so far 2. very easy to drive, feels like stock brake at light braking 3. brakes are still spongy, but better than stock 4. rear suspension is a little harsher due to increased un-sprung weight Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

fahr_side Posted November 13, 2010 Share Posted November 13, 2010 Price: around 3.5K USD locally. 'Locally' being Taiwan, from the sign in the gas station...

BAC5.2 Posted November 13, 2010 Share Posted November 13, 2010 what about the e-brake? I wouldvthink it retains it. The rear rotors are smaller and still heavier.

pachilla Posted November 16, 2010 Author Share Posted November 16, 2010 Update: The brake response has improved after about 150 miles of easy driving. And the spongy brake has firmed up a bit too. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

pachilla Posted December 31, 2010 Author Share Posted December 31, 2010 bedded in and no problem so far. Brake response is now swift but not abrupt, drive like stock but strong stopping power is there when you apply more pressure than usual. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SBT Posted December 31, 2010 Share Posted December 31, 2010 Very nice. Interesting about the rear weight increase though. Running 19x8s... what offset? - Pro amore Dei et patriam et populum - Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
OutbackXT05 Posted January 1, 2011 Share Posted January 1, 2011 Looks really good and performs that way too I bet. Im thinking of putting 19s on my outback and I knew my brakes were going to look small but after seeing yours they are going to look extremely wimpy Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
