Wifes Legacy Posted January 9, 2013 Share Posted January 9, 2013 I am looking for some decent brake pads for my wife's Legacy. She has a 07 2.5i 5spd. She wanted a manual but not a turbo so had to get a base model. Now 6 years later and 100k+ miles and all warrenties gone she is tired of the boring drive of this car. Since she needs new brake pads I figure getting an upgraded pad over OEM will at least make the car brake better and add to some spirited driving, I also plan on upgrading the swaybars and other suspension parts to get rid of the body roll and loose feel this car has. Not looking to make any more powerful just more enjoyable to drive a bit harder. So first off what is a good pad for these cars? I have a G8gt and most folks there are big on Hawk and EBC, does that hold true here or are there better options for the money? Thanks guys for any advice you can give me.

bomberlegacy Posted January 10, 2013 Share Posted January 10, 2013 Hawk or Stoptech imo, I really enjoy my Stoptech pads and they are cheaper than Hawk '08 Legacy 2.5i - hybrid intake - delta 1000 - E85 - magnaflow exhaust Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wifes Legacy Posted January 10, 2013 Author Share Posted January 10, 2013 How do the Stoptechs work with the stock rotors? Are these the correct ones?

bomberlegacy Posted January 10, 2013 Share Posted January 10, 2013 They should work fine w/ stock rotors as long as they are in good condition. I ordered mine from KNS Brakes, a vendor on this site. Great service. '08 Legacy 2.5i - hybrid intake - delta 1000 - E85 - magnaflow exhaust Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
