Brake pads Brembo or OEM Subaru
I fitted it to my Rallye. Braking power was great, but with the ABS system it losed feel. I removend the ABS and went on a conventional system and is wonderful
I've driven a Cupra R and can attest to their great stopping ability. IMO not as good as the AP's but for the price difference, they are worth it.
i have it installed on my corrado g60 and it is a great upgrade just bolted straight on (you do have to be carefull that your wheelsize is ok, et value has to be low enough) Overhere in Belgium and the Netherlands almost every corrado swapped to the cupra brakes (I know my self at least 20 people who have them and are very very very happy with them)
The STi also stops hard. It turned in the shorter braking distance of the two cars, using just 114.5 feet of asphalt to haul down from 60 mph. Pedal feel is firm and progressive, and ABS operation is quiet and refined.
Just when I think I've got the RK Spyder figured out, the incredibly precise steering, crushingly effective Brembo four-piston-caliper brakes deliver a thrilling driving experience that begs for a track day before I reach 4th gear.
Those Brembo brakes haul the car down from silly speeds repeatedly on the track with no sign of fade or sogginess.
Subarus in general are frickin' bulletproof. (WRX transmissions aside) I drove a Subaru Legacy 30th Anniversary Edition (2.5 liter, automatic...I think it's pretty similar to the '97 Legacy GT) and it was a surprisingly good drive...good handling and pretty good power...brakes were a bit sucky, though.
i didn't know we had brembo brakes.
So what pads are you using with the Brembos? Was it $320 for four discs?
IMHO, the brakes are also awful.
