Perfect combination!: Brake Kits

Ideal for 06 Impreza n/a. The bedding went smoothly and I have about a month on the pads/rotors. Stop is solid with minimal fade. I ride/live in the mountains so I train them daily. Brake dust appears to be average, noise is minimal, and brake fade is minimal. I would buy again!

Pros
  • Anti-dust braking performance confirmed by third party tests on vehicle in Los Angeles showing an average of 30% less dust than OE.
Cons
  • Not sure

Great Brake Upgrade OEM

I have a 2008 Subaru Impreza 2.5i with discs in the front and drums in the rear. Great upgrade to the stock brakes. I have deformed rotors from mountaineering. I haven't tested them since I installed them, but so far I've had no problems driving around town. This kit includes: Inner and outer rubber bushings for the caliper bolts. Metal clips for pads. Ceramic pads. silicone grease.

Pros
  • Dual layer, high temperature rubber lined pads isolate noise for virtually silent braking.
Cons
  • Mostly OK, but...

Optimal for braking systems

WILL NOT FIT 2005 LEGACY GT. Please note that Revain claims this kit will fit the model advertised but this is incorrect. After further research, the Powerstop website led me to the related item code (K285). However, they will fit the non-supercharged Legacy model of the same year, but not the GT model. The rotors are almost 2 inches smaller and the pads don't match the GT model.

Pros
  • Power Stop carbon fiber ceramic compound significantly improves braking performance over traditional ceramic brake pads
Cons
  • Functionality

Not race gear but a nice upgrade to the original brakes.

I drive a 2008 Subaru Impreza 2.5i with an automatic transmission. This isn't a 310hp turbo sports model, it's a regular vanilla sedan with standard 4-wheel disc brakes. It's fine for the average driver, but I live high on a hill with a long, steep road with a 35mph speed limit (and there's usually a friendly officer on the road). Every day driving down this street I smell brakes. The other riders get hot and mine got so hot my rotors actually warped. I could feel the warped discs tremble when…

Pros
  • Slotted perforated rotors for maximum cooling. They are galvanized for maximum rust protection.
Cons
  • Out of fashion
