So a few months ago my brake lines on my 2002 impreza wrx sedan manual 2.0t were damaged and made a leak and an abs light pop up. I’ve found that I have a code 51 I know that means faulty relay but could it be something else causing it. My front right caliper is seizing when I try to reverse (I...

Hello all, first post here. For the past 2 months, my gc8 has been suffering from what I can only describe as unpredictable brake pressure. 90% of the time the brakes feel normal and firm, however, the brake pedal will sometimes randomly sink ~50% of the way down before I begin to feel any...

The brakes on my WRX are due for a full refresh and I want to do some upgrades while I’m pulling everything apart. I don’t need crazy levels of stopping power so I was looking at doing a budget brembo conversion from RockAuto. It’s about $1400CAD to do the front and rear with quality pads and...

I just installed new pads, rotors, and coilovers on the car. After a whole day of work, test drove around the block and there is a constant rubbing sound (almost sounds like sandpaper/grinding) coming out of the front left wheel well. Could be more than one wheel well, but I'm by myself so it's...

Time to change my pads, take off wheel, remove caliper, and it turns out I have ordered the wrong pads. What I have on the car is red calipers that have white lettering saying "SUBARU" and pads that are being held by two pins. What I ordered were not even close to that but thats what they are...

Hey guys, I've recently done a brake upgrade to my 02 wrx wagon. 4 pot fronts and h6 rears. I've been experiencing a grinding noise at the rear right wheel during a hard left turn. I thought at first that it was the trim job on the disk backing plate, but it all clears. (at a stand still)...

Hello everyone, I just got done with the engine on my 03 and now cant seem to get the car to stop fast enough. Seems like the power it makes now is more than the brakes can handle. Are there any upgrades to stock brakes that can be made to help it stop better? Or do I need to due a full out...
