Subaru parts reviews

Last year on my 2013 I put on Wagner QS pads and Centric rotors, so far so good.

I have a 2014 brz and power wise the only thing I've changed is an optima red top battery when my orm battery died. It does have a out twice the cca as the stock battery so maybe it helps.

Akebono ceramic pads are pretty fantastic and low dust. EBC has a number of options. Don’t go out and buy some high performance spec pad and expect it to work on your daily driver. Some higher end pads meant for sport use are designed to be used such that they need to be heated up more for full performance. On a street car that’s not getting driven hard enough, the pads never heat up enough and you can get brake pad deposits on your rotors which ends up “feeling” like a warped rotor. TLDR: more expensive and higher performance isn’t always better for your application. Get the pad you need for your application.

Panasonic made batteries for Subaru years ago, black top and white case that you could just barely see through. Those bastards would run 7 or 8 years consistently before being replaced….

I did Project MU B force pads. DBA 4000 rotors, Stop tech stainless steel brake lines, Motul 660 brake fluid, radium brake booster brace(a must). Make sure to set those pads in the correct sequence and they gonna rip your face off bud! I had 6 piston brembos also, what a difference!

My brakes were so poor I got the Lexus four pot conversion for the fronts but didn't want to space the wheels out so ended up rebuilding the originals. There were 4 seized pistons out of 6 so I honed the bores and put +1mm oversized stainless ones in with new seals, pins and pads. I went for slotted discs but they are a lot noisier.

After looking on tire rack and having some more conversations with my shop I’m going to go with the Verdestein Quatrac Pro’s slightly lower scores in some of the categories than the CrossClimates but still look like a highly rated tire and gonna save me close to $300

They installed a Benson windshield which is a cheaper Chinese one but it couldn\u2019t be much worse than the original Subaru one \ud83e\udd37\u200d\u2642\ufe0f. Had a couple pebbles hit it already and no issues.

I just did the same job on my 2007 forester from the dealership, paid about the same amount, maybe a little more

I had my 98 Legacy Outback done 2 years ago and the timing belt kit/water pump was around $300. I think they’re charging you too much for that.
