Rotora rotors,Axxis ultimate pads and Goodrigde brake lines installed
After ordering my brake rotors,pads and SS braides brake lines this past week I recieved them yesterday.
Went to a friends house and installed all the items. The rotors are the slotted style from a company called Rotora. The pads are from Axxis there the Ultimate series pads.($475 for pads/rotors shipped on vendors forum) The brake lines are from Goodridge ($99 shipped from the vendors forum). And brake fluid is Motul brand. Install was fairly easy. This was my first brake install and I did it with almost no problems. Just had 1 brake line fitting decide to be stubborn and almost strip on me... Also didnt torque the last caliper on all the way which gave me a scare on the ride home. Install time was about 3 hours and that was with me taking my time due to being unfamilliar with the WRX brake system. After install took a short ride to seat the pads and am amased at the differance in brake feel. Pretty good value for the money in my opinion. Any questions feel free to ask......

I think the oe brakes get kind of a raw deal, they're not that bad and actually pretty good w/ a few minor upgrades. I've also uprated to Goodridge lines and Motul fluid, went w/ DBA club spec rotors and Ferodo pads. Currently working on a front duct setup.
I'm very confident w/ setup whether the track or gravel or even the grocery store. Big brake kits have there place, but w/ the upgrades you listed you've got more than enough braking for most applications. Big Sky |

I just did the same install except the rotors about a month ago. I love the brake power, but I hope you like to clean wheels alot. After 3 or 4 days of driving my front wheels are black with dust. It's just the price you pay for good brakes.

I got the Axxis Ultimates specifically due to the advertised light/low brakedust properties. I hope that isnt false advertising......

I got the pads from Stoptech, and they said about the dusting "If you have to ask they will dust to much". I don't know who told you they don't dust, but they were wrong.
