bigb3630123 Posted March 14, 2008 Posted March 14, 2008 So I need rotors and brake pads all the way around to pass inspection and I need them ASAP! anybody know of any good deals going on anywhere? I'm looking for DBA rotors and Hawk HPS pads for all 4 wheels. Any help is appreciated thanks
NewLegGT67 Posted March 14, 2008 Posted March 14, 2008 I thought your thread was going to be about you can't pass the inspection because or your catless exhaust not your brakes. Damn, how bad are your brakes for you to think you wouldn't pass a safety inspection? I'm probably the only person that has Wu-Tang Clan and Paul McCartney on their mp3.
bigb3630123 Posted March 14, 2008 Author Posted March 14, 2008 I didn't think they were that bad because I usually down shift and use a little engine braking buuuuuut now that 3 different mechanics told me it wont pass I got in and they are right the pedal is REALLY low. 45000 miles on original breaks haha. I got my money out of them.
devobuzz Posted March 14, 2008 Posted March 14, 2008 And I thought you were going to say your car was too low!
1freak Posted March 14, 2008 Posted March 14, 2008 I run the dba rotors and hawk pads. I have no complaints about them. With lines and new brake fluid it was the best upgrade Ive done The work so well that I almost put my friend through the windshield after someone came out of a side street and I had no other choice but hammer the brakes check us out here http://newenglandsubarus.com/

I got my money out of them. S**t. My car is at 42,500 and was just a couple of weeks ago during a tire rotation that my rears were goners. I was just going to do those but I guess I should do the whole thing now. DBA 4000s and Hawk Pads will be my route also.
SBT Posted March 15, 2008 Posted March 15, 2008 I know that KOP took down their recent sales promotion, but email/call/PM Tristan and see if he can help you out. No guantees, but here is the link: http://www.legacygt.com/forums/showthread.php?t=82626. You'll have to read the rest of the posts because the content is missing from the OP, but this was for DBA rotors and some type of pads, Hawks possibly. BTW - I'm at nearly 60,000 on the original pads and rotors... and this is with trailer towing factored in. Still at > 70% on the pads. Dunno. SBT - Pro amore Dei et patriam et populum -
TPLGT Posted March 15, 2008 Posted March 15, 2008 Shoot...Scotty. I totally forgot the KOp tokk down the lines/pads/brake fluid deal....Call Tristan and He will hook it up. GL Rehab is for quitters.
bigb3630123 Posted March 15, 2008 Author Posted March 15, 2008 I really hope he can hook me up.... car needs an inspection before my trip to michigan..... I don't drive it now because the inspection is up lol
fonts Posted March 15, 2008 Posted March 15, 2008 I don't believe that KOP is active on the forum right now but there should be no issue at all to call Tristan directly at the shop. Contact info. in this thread. http://www.legacygt.com/forums/showthread.php?t=81113 They had a great sale earlier and I also bought the same setup from them late in the fall.
bigb3630123 Posted March 19, 2008 Author Posted March 19, 2008 Wow if anyone is looking for rotors goooooood luck getting them.
sgeorge Posted March 19, 2008 Posted March 19, 2008 Bigb - contact http://www.wrxbrakes.com, i just looked his site is down. But he is a member here, his username is brakeguru. Maybe he can help?
dmp Posted March 19, 2008 Posted March 19, 2008 First off - State Inspections are a racket, and should be abolished. Secondly, try Autozone. Heck, I'd LOAN you my rotors if that's what it took. SOLD | '06 spec.B - VF52/AVO/740cc/Up/Down | 238awhp | 50-80mph 3.1 seconds.
bigb3630123 Posted March 19, 2008 Author Posted March 19, 2008 haha I'll make it but thanks for the offer. I ordered some stoptech's from KOP. He had everything but front rotors but he was telling me how hard it is to get anything from his suppliers. DBA's are a month behind.... yikes.
dmp Posted March 19, 2008 Posted March 19, 2008 Any reason you couldn't just stop down at an AutoZone, PepBoys, etc, for rotors? Might have been cheaper! AND quicker! SOLD | '06 spec.B - VF52/AVO/740cc/Up/Down | 238awhp | 50-80mph 3.1 seconds.
bigb3630123 Posted March 19, 2008 Author Posted March 19, 2008 I asked a couple of local places and they could only get the OEM rotors..... Didn't want those so I waited
bigb3630123 Posted March 20, 2008 Author Posted March 20, 2008 does the 05 Legacy run different rotors than an 05 Legacy GT?
SBT Posted March 20, 2008 Posted March 20, 2008 does the 05 Legacy run different rotors than an 05 Legacy GT? 2005 Legacy 2.5i vs LGT? LGT Rotors are bigger and vented FR & RR IIRC. SBT - Pro amore Dei et patriam et populum -
dmp Posted March 20, 2008 Posted March 20, 2008 out of curiosity, why did you not want OEM rotors? SOLD | '06 spec.B - VF52/AVO/740cc/Up/Down | 238awhp | 50-80mph 3.1 seconds.
zmarko Posted March 20, 2008 Posted March 20, 2008 Out of curiosity, I just went to Autozone to see how much a new front rotor would be. Each rotor was Duralast / Brake Rotor - Front Warranty - 2 YR 44321 $101.99 Yikes!
bigb3630123 Posted March 20, 2008 Author Posted March 20, 2008 I wanted a slotted rotor......... Mostly for show
