Would you spend the money converting to front and rear brembo's over the stock Subaru 4 and 2 pots?


thanks

Depends how much you want to spend on brakes imo.
I've fitted front Brembos...rears to follow... as I can't afford the bigger brake kits but the Brembos do the job admirably imo.

And you may need a bigger size wheel as well.

There is a noticeable improvement 4 pot to Brembo

On the front its definitely worth it as the standard setup is a bit pony.

On the rear I wouldn't bother as you have to convert to the bigger discs with either a circular spacer or massively thick shoes to match you existing hand brake mechanism. Basically hassle and expense for little gain over the two pots.

gone for fronts and standard rears, thanks for input.

depending on what rear set-up you have and pad choice, etc. on the front you may well benefit from a material upgrade at min. - lots of poor information about rear not having to do much which is VERY wrong - you need the rears to be carrying their fair share on a 4wd car

Personally, I find Brembos more about hype than quality.

They KNOW there's a problem screwing steel bolts into an alloy caliper, but do they cast in a thread in stainless? Do they fit helicoils? Nope, they sell cr@p, then let the poor mugs deal with the problem.

German engineering? My ****.

to be fair Brembo only supply what Subaru ask/pay for - they are a production caliper no more and little different to most other offerings from AP, Alcon, etc...
IMO the issue is they are over-torqued in the factory during initial fitment

p.s. Brembo is ITALIAN nowt to do with Germany - just don't mention the war
