I just can't stand the look of having fronts only. I apparently was given higher performance pads for the rear to help give them more bite to even out the bias. I'll know if it's advantageous after I get the rears installed. Right now with having just the fronts on, the car feels heavier at the nose.

I love the GD STI BBS wheels.
The FHI (2006 WRX) 2 pot calipers would be my choice for the rears. Easy rotor fitment and better bias while still looking good. EDIT: The rear FHI 2 pots shift bias forward. Front FHI 4 pots have no effect on bias. - Andy Last edited by Racecomp Engineering; 06-07-2020 at 05:24 PM. |

Just got my hands on some 08 STi calipers... did anyone ever find out the perfect rotor/pad combo that has the least brake bias? Read through the entire thread and haven't seen anyone report back with any good news

I'm still waiting to have my rear calipers put on... I'll let you know how it goes whenever they're mounted. Project Mu performance pads in the rear, I believe, and StopTech street pads up front. They're supposed to get the balance back to stock status, according to the person that bought the entire kit before selling it to me.

You can run race pads for the rears and street performance in the fronts. I chose to run stock rear calipers and Brembo fronts instead with matching pads.
