I have a 53 blobeye i brought a month ago and notice the car leans foward i mean leans alot foward when braking even at normal speed.The front discs and pads are new and the calipers are rusty. The rear calipers are still very clean and the brake pads have plenty on them. After driving You can touch the rear discs after a 100 mile trip and they will be just warm plus they are a different colour to the front like it's sat round for monthsI'm sure my rears are not working. Can you help?

290 AND READY

Get that into a good subaru knowledged garage mate asap.
Not worth taking a chance.
Discs generally take the brunt at the front but rust appearing on the back seems wrong.
Air lock issue?

Thanks for the advice. Just about to jack it up and spin the wheel to see weather they are free under braking failing that a good piece of grass mite help to lock up on to see weather they are braking.

either siezed pistons or more likely the pads are jammed in the caliper thro' build up of debris/corrosion.............strip & clean and you should sort

I jacked the rear up and n/s/r still spins when the brake is pressed so no braking on that wheel at all. o/s/r a bit better but still spins. I think new discs and pads on the rear and a good bleeding is to start off. What pads do you recommend??
