flatsphere Posted March 8, 2009 Share Posted March 8, 2009 Hi gang, I'm one of the unlucky few to have the limited run of OBXT's equipped with the solid rear disc rotor. All in all, not a tremendous problem, unless I try to replace the pads. No one appears to make after market pads. All I've found are the pads for the 05-07 OBXT, which are different from mine. The closest Subaru dealer wants $93 for these rear pads. Which is over MSRP. <sigh> I see two choices: 1. order online and wait a few days. 2. replace my rear calipers and rotors to the 05-07 set. Any other ideas? Has anyone upgraded their brakes and would be willing to part with the stock set? Cheers! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
magnetic1 Posted March 8, 2009 Share Posted March 8, 2009 Should be pad shape 1114. I think both Hawk and Carbotech have that shape for aftermarket pads.

flatsphere Posted March 9, 2009 Author Share Posted March 9, 2009 Hi Magnetic1, That is the pad for the 05-07 OBXT. Sorry but that won't work. Cheers! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lemme try to do some more investigative work tomorrow. It's gotta be some pad that crosses with another Subaru.

urfsin Posted March 9, 2009 Share Posted March 9, 2009 The only thing I can think of is that some VERY early 05' outback rear brakes would have the "H6" rear brake set up from the previous gen Outback.

magnetic1 Posted March 9, 2009 Share Posted March 9, 2009 Older Outbacks used shape 770. Which actually, believe it or not, is the same shape as LGT.

mwiener2 Posted March 9, 2009 Share Posted March 9, 2009 AFAIK ALL OB's have solid rear rotors and I am not aware of any 'limited run' that got different rears. And there may be 1 aftermarket option out there for the rear pads. I'm not sure what that is though My Mods List (Updated 8/22/17) 2005 Outback FMT Running on Electrons Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

flatsphere Posted March 9, 2009 Author Share Posted March 9, 2009 AFAIK ALL OB's have solid rear rotors and I am not aware of any 'limited run' that got different rears. Ah, didn't know they were all solid rotors. Assumed later had vented since those are the two options that come up when I search the on-line part catalogs. It is the shape of mine that is different. slightly smaller tab outline and shape than the normal 05-07 set. Thank you all for the additional links and info. The pad I picked up from AutoZone was d770, which didn't fit. I'll try the H6 (1114) as Magnetic1 and Urfsin suggested. BTW Autozone lists the 1114 as being for the H6 only. Cheers!

flatsphere Posted March 9, 2009 Author Share Posted March 9, 2009 Magnetic1 was correct off the bat. My early OBXT does use the d1114 rear pads. I found ceramic pads at Kragen down the street and installed them without any difficulties. Thanks again to you all for your help and advice. Cheers!
