Baddog Posted May 31, 2010 Author Share Posted May 31, 2010 Where would I get these brake lines? Looks like I will be going with HPS front + rear pads for $130 (unless I get a quote for less from another place). Going to get 4 new stock rotors from NAPA within the next couple of months. I hate the feel of the ceramic brake pads I have on there now in the front. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Zues Marine Posted May 31, 2010 Share Posted May 31, 2010 you sure you have rear discs in your L? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Baddog Posted May 31, 2010 Author Share Posted May 31, 2010 Pft I think so lol where do I look to find out. Napa shows up as rear disc at least I think? http://www.napaautoparts.com/Search/Detail.aspx?A=NB_4886121_0148370175&An=599001+101996+50068+2068008 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Baddog Posted May 31, 2010 Author Share Posted May 31, 2010 I wouldn't be able to tell the difference I don't think. What would I be looking for. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Baddog Posted May 31, 2010 Author Share Posted May 31, 2010 Then yeah I have disc brakes on the back. I replaced the rears awhile back and now that I remember since you put it this way ^ it did/does have calipers and rotors. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Osei Posted June 1, 2010 Share Posted June 1, 2010 Slots are for bling. Most people who race use solids, because there is less chance of them warping or cracking because of the slots etc.yes I know Porsche uses drilled Ceramic rotors , but they cost more than most of our cars do. I disagree with slots eating up pads. I too am a spirited driver, but unfortunately I don't get to do canyon carving and build up a lot of heat in short intervals, which will make a difference. I do the twisty back country roads here in the Northeast quite frequently. I had Hawk HPS on my BE. Totaled it on black ice after 16K of use. Removed them and put them on my BL at 17K. Did not have to change them (fronts) until recently. I had 72k on the odometer! That means 16 +55=71K miles of hard use. But no racing or tracks. Want to lessen chances of warping? Don't apply the e brake after spirited driving. My 2 cents O Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Baddog Posted June 1, 2010 Author Share Posted June 1, 2010 Yep going to get the HPS Pads. Can't wait. New rims + Tires + Brakes.. Going to be great! Decided I may try the "Goodridge G-stop Brake line Kit" when the time for brakes comes. http://www.hawkpadsdirect.com/Goodridge-24211-Brake-Line-Kit-Subaru-LEGACY-p/gdr24211.811.htm Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Baddog Posted June 3, 2010 Author Share Posted June 3, 2010 Will stock Napa Rotors work for the HPS pad application? As far as good stopping power. I have cheap $40 ceramics on the front from napa and CHEAP rear semi metallics in the rear from autozone. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
