I was considering doing the same thing. Looking forward to your review.

i know what the question mark is for!!!! you did get it!

as for the brakes, the kit seemed cool when i first looked at it, but...the stock calipers with hawks seem to do the job just fine for me...anxious to hear your report

I have had Racing Brakes Rotors on my WRX before and they lasted many track days and they kept the brake pads from glazing.

Right now RB is working with GOTO:Racing for the USTCC championship series this year.. they are very confident that the rotors will last them the whole season on their Legacy GT.


If you need to know more about the brakes, I'll talk to RB directly to get all the info you all need.

kit is installed...having problems getting all the air out of the system...look great..minor modifrication needed for the front bbk bracket that holds the pads in place(not cut properly--nothing a grinder couldn't handle)

i'll post pics tomorrow...

so far..looks+
performance...dont know yet

downsides:
bracket wasn't correct size (minor thing--i'm sure they'll fix this asap)
front lines need some additional mounting brackets included so that the line can be mounted in two spots, not just one
