    I'm getting new brakes!!!!!!!! To save money I'm doing the work at school (Dunwoody) I'll only have to pay $32 for labor and about a $1000 for parts :shock: plus I get to do the work myself. WoooHooo. 4 New calipers ,4 New rotors, and 2 sets of pads. Expensive ,but the calipers come with new mounting brackets calipers bolts and guide pins.

    I'm getting new genuine subaru parts. I didn't want cheap aftermarket stuff. And i already know how to do the install and the only time i have is when i'm at school so it all really works out quiet well.

    CHEAP AFTERMARKET STUFF....man thats rich. For 1000 bucks you could get Subaru 4-pots, with nice Carbotech pads, stainless brake lines, an H6 rear brake upgrade with pads and rotors. All you would need is a set of standard front rotors to complete the kit. And it would be a hell of a lot better than stock.

    You can get them WAY cheaper than that for the front

    http://www.boxer4racing.com/

    They have the Subaru 4 pots w/ carbotech pads for 679.00

    They have an 11.3" rear upgrade for 299 that includes new slotted rotors and brackets for your existing rear calipers.

    Add stainless lines and front rotors to that for probably another 200 bucks and for under 1200 you have a killer brake setup.

    When I did my brake upgrades I think I paid around $900 for everything. Front and rear rotors (cryo'd, slotted, plated), h6 rear upgrade brackets, ss lines, ate blue fluid, carbotech bobcat pads front and rear. The only thing that didn't get replaced was the calipers.
