Brakes June 12, 2007
The one area of my car that I’ve done little to upgrade are the brakes. I’ve swapped the front calipers with ‘06 WRX TR 4-pot take-offs, using the pads they came with and my original rotors, and I have some stainless brake lines and MOTUL brake fluid waiting to be installed someday, and that’s it.
Tonight I ordered some DBA 5000-series 2-piece rotors for the front from Gruppe-S. Short of going to a Big Brake Kit, this is about as bad-ass as you get. The price was much lower than anyone else is listing them for lately — prices have gone up and the dollar remains weak — so we’ll have to see if they honor the price on their web site…
Next will be an upgrade to the ‘06 2-pots in the rear, which will require new rotors and pads as well. Not terribly expensive but not exactly cheap either, so it’ll probably be another month or three before I get around to that…
