No good parts instructions

I don't know if it's worth transferring the old gasket to the new pads as the pads have a backing plate. I didn't install the old gasket, correct me if I'm wrong!

Pros
  • Dope 🔥
Cons
  • Definitely bad product

Everything not included.

This kit should have everything you need. This does not include all replacement parts needed to install the brakes. You'll have to buy a new set of gear if any of your old ones start to slow down.

Pros
  • Great Product
Cons
  • Damaged

Look at the pads in the brake kits

The rotor discs seem fine but they sent 2 sets of pads in the rear and none for the front. Most of the equipment is missing. It only includes a butterfly washer for the back of the caliper and no pins or clips.

Pros
  • Sturdy finish
Cons
  • Slightly torn

EXTREMELY squeaky: Brake System

They've been at my car for 4 months now and every morning I wake up my entire neighborhood by braking at the end of the driveway. They creak VERY loudly when cold, they ease off when hot, but still a more than audible squeak on EVERY stop I come to. They also rust within minutes after being exposed to water, which is ugly to look at right after the car has been washed.

Pros
  • New
Cons
  • Questionable older purchase

Upgrade for 2011 Subaru Wrx Sti

Purchased for 2011 Subaru Wrx Sti. It arrived earlier than expected. Supplied in two separate boxes. A box for front rotors and brakes. And another box for rear rotors and brakes. Upon opening it I noticed that the back comes with pins and clips. I bought the front fittings from the dealer. Be sure to wash the rotors with mild soap and air dry after installation. Then spray with brake cleaner. When everything is set, read the bedding procedure. In general I am satisfied with the product, it…

Pros
  • Ideal for small homes
Cons
  • Cable is shorter than other kits

Best Bang For You Buck!

I was skeptical at first because there were no reviews, so I looked elsewhere. Long story short, several forums have provided good information on these brakes on Subaru. They don't have that aggressive bite you might see on high-end Brembos, but they get the job done and do something. There are no problems with overheating and braking yet. I currently have 6,000 miles on these brakes and couldn't be happier. Did I really have to drill a cross? Probably not, but they look cool! I would buy them…

Pros
  • Certified
Cons
  • Mostly good, but...

Complete set of brakes of good quality and performance.

Pros: good price, complete kit with everything you need, parts installed properly Cons: not yet bought this kit for my 2016 Subaru WRX STI. equipment available. This kit includes everything you need to fully engage the front and rear brakes. After installing the pads and discs, I polished the brakes according to the instructions that came with them. After that, I didn't feel any vibration or shaking of the brake pedal or steering wheel when stopping. After 21,000 km in use they still work as…

Pros
  • Best
Cons
  • Ugly packaging
