hello,

I have a my98 euro impreza gt with tarox discs in front anf ferodo ds2500 pads. when I brake to stop I feel some vibration on the steering wheel and the car seems to "bounce". at high speeds when the discs and pads get very hot when I brake the steering wheel vibrates a lot. this is the secong pair of discs and pads I have in a short period due to the same problem. does anyone ever had the same problem?

can someone help me before I spend lots of money in a big brake kit conversion? I think the problem is in the calipers but not sure that's why I was thinking in replacing everything... ( could it be the ABS? just wondering... )

if its happened on two occassions in quick succession then most likely you have a sticking/seized caliper or you are failing to bed the pads/discs in correctly??

since the first failure I'm very carefull with beding and washes, etc... if it's the sticking/seized caliper, can this be fixed or I have to buy new calipers?

Carlos:
Nothing special about the Impreza brakes, they can be rebuilt with new seals etc just like any other car's can.

you might like to consider a different pad?
I had some Pagid Blues off Stockcar above and they really are good and brilliant compared to the Green stuff 'things' I had before.

I usted to have green stuff with eagle discs now I have ferodo ds2500 with tarox discs... and after a few miles they are starting to feel the same...

have done a few tests and the brakes don't fade ( a lot ) the only problem is the wheel vibration... could it be suspension bushes?

Wheel bearings?

have spoke with a friend today and he told me the same thing... have to go to the "shop" to check it... is that very expensive? there go all my plans for the scooby...

I've been in the shop today and everything looks ok... I'll buy new bushes to see if there is any improvement...
