Eville Rich Posted April 5, 2014 Share Posted April 5, 2014 Just posting as a product review. Today I removed my stock front rotors and pads. I have about 106,000 miles on my 2007 LGT. Bought it at 42,000 so I see no reason to think the PO had them replaced. Brakes were feeling mushy and not confidence inspiring. I replaced them with Hawk HPS pads and Centric premium rotors with the electrostatic treatment on non-braking surfaces. I didn't bleed the brakes as I never opened the lines (I'll bleed them soon). Even before I bed them in, they were performing better than the old brakes. After bedding, they improved a bit more (many things improve after a good bedding). Much more confident braking, with a good response at light, medium, and hard pressure. The old brakes had plenty of pad left and the rotors also had plenty of material. We'll see how the HPS/Centric combo breaks in over time, but for now I'm a happy camper. Eville Rich 2007 LGT Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Eville Rich 2007 LGT Great combination, we've been using this as our standard replacement setup for the past 10+ years. Rarely if ever have issues. I would highly recommend a brake flush. On the Subies it's required every 3/30k miles. -Mike Paisan http://www.pbase.com/paisan/image/153798190.jpg Maintaining, Modifying and Educating TriState Enthusiasts since 2001.
