Scoobyslack Posted January 16, 2021 Share Posted January 16, 2021 FYI: Some calipers need a special tool (like the rear of my '16 3.6R) to reset the piston into the caliper. The piston needs to turn while pressure is applied for the piston to go in. The cheap generic tool you can get at most auto parts stores may work a couple times. The one I had was cast aluminum and ended up breaking. I made one out of steel for myself to replace my pads. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

03LegacyLE Posted March 12, 2021 Share Posted March 12, 2021 Recently had Subaru replace all the hard lines and install SS lines, brembo pads and bleed the system twice. I also installed Grimspeed MS brace and brembo pads. The brakes feel better, but still not great, soft pedal and just doesn't give you any real confidence. Any ideas on what the best way to improve this would be? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
