Dude, really, why quote the first post.........
Glad you found it informative. I totally agree. Try learning brake management on a heavy 4 wheel drum car when you feel "racey", I've been there, done that. I learned how to manage brake heat. Glad you learned something, spread the good word. |

Wow, fair enough. The comparisons you used are somewhat astounding.

Have not posted here much lately
Good but not great thread with some glaring errors. Parts store pads on a non-Brembo Subaru leave a lot to be desired. Tire lockup does not = my brakes are good. There are many ways and things to improve Subaru brakes. |

Just got a new '19 WRX and admit I was considering a sweet brake upgrade to more closely match my '17 BRZ's performance package stock Brembos. After reading this whole thing I'm convinced it's a waste of money. But I will never deny that they look 1000% cooler.

WRX brakes over the years are pretty poor for many reasons and many drivers benefit from a variety of possible improvements. It depends on what you want the car. Your WRX will be more of a challenge than a BRZ with Brembo's. You can read 20+ pages of forum garbage or email me at [email protected] -Ken |

Opinion on this test
I am wondering what this thread thinks about the below brake test.

Note: That's Billy Petrow from Broken Motorsports. He's a long time Subaru rally guy in NJ. Did you see the front wheel vibrate as ABS worked. That's why ABS stops are LONGER than threshold stops which keep the tire planted. That was a lot of wiggling when the brakes were ABS'ing. There is a lot of bad info in this thread. I've always disliked it. |

I believe the basic premise of this thread is, can you currently lock the brakes/invoke the ABS? If yes, better brakes gain little until you increase tire grip. Once you have better grip, then there are things that are inexpensive and get gains in stopping, feel, fade resistance. I forgot to note the tires in the video, but IIRC they are basically track tires (better grip) on a second set of rims. These may be better than most DD tires, thus they can handle more brake torque. |
