PhilT Posted November 2, 2006 Share Posted November 2, 2006 81% front bias, WOW That would cause the ABS to kick in more wouldn't it ? If the fronts are doing all the braking ? Double Award Winning Legacy GT Wagon Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
praedet Posted November 2, 2006 Share Posted November 2, 2006 Ted pulls them out of thin air...you know he did to move to Colorado recently and there's more there to grabWouldn't it be less air in CO Here is the thread that can give you the methods/where I get my numbers. The majority is simple physics, as shown on the Stoptech pages. Basically, pad coefficient of friction, times the piston size, times the distance from the hub gives you a braking torque. From there you can figure out bias by comparing front to rear. If you get rear pads to match the fronts, you will move back towards a 74% front bias... It means that the car uses less of it's rear brakes, so ABS will activate before the rear tires require it. The big unknown variable in that statement is whther or not EBD can shift bias to the rear. If so, no problem. My guess is that Subaru went with a less complicated solution though, and EBD senses too much REAR bias, and shifts forward only...

PGT Posted November 2, 2006 Share Posted November 2, 2006 there is more thin air than thick air, so tecnically it's more not less Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
praedet Posted November 2, 2006 Share Posted November 2, 2006 Hmmmm, still gonna have to disagree... Less density, less pressure, fewer molecules That's why NA cars have 23% less power here in the springs, and I can only hit 16 psi instead of 19...

mwiener2 Posted November 2, 2006 Author Share Posted November 2, 2006 nonono...the air is thinner and therefore there is more "thin air" for him to grab. Down here the air is thick, which means no "thin air" so we can't grab any Now someone find me aggressive rear OB Brake pads....go!!

praedet Posted November 2, 2006 Share Posted November 2, 2006 If the Racing Brake rear rotor upgrade will fit an Outback, that will take you to 71% front with equal pads front and rear... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Boxer2Blower Posted November 2, 2006 Share Posted November 2, 2006 nope...OB rotors and calipers are different than LGT Does that matter if you are replacing to a Rear BBK? ....you be replacing everything. There are several members on here that have Rear BBK's....I think I saw one with Racing Brake and another with Rotora. Cobb's site lists the same 4-wheel BBK set-up for both LGT's and OBXT's.

KartRacerBoy Posted November 2, 2006 Share Posted November 2, 2006 My Wiener, thems is nice brakes!!! Now you just need to be a BIG bling man (and ignore that prattling Praedet and his brake bias brakophilia -- illegal in most states) and get the rear Brembos for max bling, like myself. Sooooooo, a "little" dive now in the stock suspension under binding power? Soon you will tire of your car's OB elevation and wish for real suspension instead of being a SUV wannabe. And then we will formally welcome Mr. Wiener into the Real Man LGT club. Good luck until then! And then all woman will bow down to the Wiener for his golden glow. (Or at least one can dream).

mwiener2 Posted November 3, 2006 Author Share Posted November 3, 2006 Does that matter if you are replacing to a Rear BBK? ....you be replacing everything. There are several members on here that have Rear BBK's....I think I saw one with Racing Brake and another with Rotora. Cobb's site lists the same 4-wheel BBK set-up for both LGT's and OBXT's. The Racing Brake Rotor upgrade kit that was being reffered to uses a bracket to move the existing caliper farther away from the hub to make use of the larger rotor. But since the OB uses a different caliper, that kit won't work on an OB. But yes, any rear BBK that fits an LGT should fit an OB. But that wasn't what we were talking about.... KartRacerBoy - You poke fun now, but at the autocross course I make up time by strattling cones instead of knocking them down. And I also own rallycross. Chicks also dig me in the OB because I'm responsible and willing to tote around groceries and kids...and that turns them on My Mods List (Updated 8/22/17) 2005 Outback FMT Running on Electrons Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KartRacerBoy Posted November 3, 2006 Share Posted November 3, 2006 Hey, mwiener, I'm all over the wagon thing. I've a garnet red LGT wagon, stage 2, Swift springs, Cobb f/r anti-sway bars, STi Brembos f/r, Superleggeras for competition and Rota Boosts for daily driving. And no straddling cones for me in autox. If any are left standing, I'm not terrorizing the course workers like I should be. PS - Recaro Young booster seat in the rear of the wagon. And teenage boys go ga-ga over a 300 hp wagon with a 5-speed! The brakes and wheels catch their eyes, then they never stop asking questions about the rest of the car.
