caramall2 Posted February 13, 2014 Share Posted February 13, 2014 (edited) You have to have a fairly aggressive pad to get rid of the deposits doing it that way. Stock pads (if that's what you used) won't cut it. I've had both DBA 5000 2-piece and DBA 4000. They're nice (esp 5000), but a decent blank with aggressive street pads works well. The pad is where it's at (IMHO) to avoid deposits. Sounds like a nice set up--what model stoptech pads did you get? I just looked back and see you said they were stoptech street...will have to check out specs. Edited February 13, 2014 by caramall2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

alain59 Posted February 28, 2014 Share Posted February 28, 2014 my turn brake upgrade project for my EDM outbakc 2.5i, lowered to specB standards here's the lowering story : http://legacygt.com/forums/showpost.php?p=4711464&postcount=1302 brake upgrade, looking for : - more power (towing, heavy loads, ...) - more fade resistance : (towing, heavy loads, ...) + mountain - fine pedal feel I've been through a few steps on the brake project 1) ebc redstuff all round with stock caliper and dba 4000 front rotors (294x25) : better than stock but the pedal feel was still not that good. 2) wrx 4pot + ebc redstuff + dba 4000 front rotors + stock rears (274x10 + sliders) : pedal feel much improved 3) wrx 4pot + ebc redstuff + dba 4000 front rotors + legacy 3.0R rears (290x18 + sliders, same as USDM LGT's) + high carbon rotors + CL RC6 high friction metalic pads (0.5) that's were I am now : brake bias is a bit too much on the rear side, that's expeted and I will correct it soon i expected a lot of squeel with this metalic pads, but nothing bad in the end and here's what's comming next up front : http://img.xooimage.com/files98/6/a/1/p1020004-web-3ec8658.jpg http://img.xooimage.com/files99/a/9/5/p1020006-web-3ec8ac6.jpg these brembo's share the same pad shape as sti's , and will be used with 326x30 sti rotors (probably 2 pieces dba 5000 slot) they require brembo ready wheels, I got myself two appropriate sets : 2002 JDM sti (17x7.5 +53, with 215/55 winter's) and 2007 rota GR-A (17x7.5 +48 , with 225/50 summer's) these calipers have slightly smaller pistons than sti's : 40 + 44 (vs 40 + 46 on sti's) piston surface area with 40 + 44 is very close to the stock setup (42 + 42mm), that's a good answer to the hydraulic questions. I've done some math to make sure the brake bias will be right : i expect 70/30 with 0.45 front pads and 0.5 rear pads here's the brake pad spec's : http://www.cl-brakes.com/images/produits/gammes/voiture/il1.png HEL brainded lines + motul RBF600 fluid complete the part list and also some approriate CHC M14x100 and M12x40 to bolt all this together (12.9 grade steel) I am going to have the mounting braket machined soon, out of some 7075 aloy I will keep you posted if some are interested Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BigBlack-V Posted April 24, 2014 Share Posted April 24, 2014 I am going to be putting Brembo's on my car and was wondering if anyone has ran these pads? http://store.zeckhausen.com/catalog/product_info.php?cPath=22_23_248_252&products_id=5982 Dave from Zeckhausen racing said they would be perfect for a daily driver who doesnt track or race the car. A pad that has low dust and is quiet. I was 0. And I'm still a zero. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
