Wonder if anyone can help.
I recently had XP8 pads(paid the extra for pre-bedding) installed. They work so much better than stock, but there is a high pitched squeal when doing light braking. Ive read that this could be caused by my rotors. They are still the stock rotors(6+ years old) and i have never had them resurfaced. If that is the cause... could anyone recommend new rotors? Slotted? which brand? Thanks in advance. |

Since this is the brakes guide, I'll ask a question only someone crazy like me would think of.
What is the smallest, lightest brakes we can use on our cars? I want to run 16" wheels at most, but it would be awesome if I could find lightweight brakes that would let me run 15". |

There are few 15" wheels that can work with our stock brakes.
As for lightest .. i guess willwood wrx 4pots might be. Also there was one brake kit intended for drag use, but it didn't look streetable, overlightened till greatily compromising main function, so i don't consider it as lightest. |

Thanks! I had read they were louder, just didnt think it would be like that. I only drive the car 3-4 times a month so not a big issue, just wondered if there was a way to fix it.

My car is mostly track use, and I gave up on trying to keep the XP10s bedded and quiet away from the track. Light brake pressure seems to be the worst - you can brake later/harder for normal stops and minimize the squealing at the risk of others thinking you are driving like an ass. |

For rotors, just stick with Centric high carbon content blanks. Want to know why? I can make a thread on the science behind it, but basically google F1 brakes or any other high form of motorsport, you'll see they use vented, high carbon content blanks.

Enkei 16x7 wheels are like 13 lbs and relatively inexpensive. They clear OEM brakes. The Subaru FHI 4 pots (as seen on 2006-2007 WRX) are slightly lighter and clear some 15 inch wheels. I believe the rear 2 pots are lighter, but I'm not sure what the net change is since you have to use an adapter bracket. The rear 2 pots have no effect on bias, the front 4 pots shift bias slightly to the rear. They use the same rotors as OEM. EDIT: I'm wrong on the bias change, the rear FHI 2 pots shift bias forward. Front FHI 4 pots have no effect on bias. - Andrew Last edited by Racecomp Engineering; 06-07-2020 at 05:22 PM. |

Has anyone replaced the rear PP Brembo with a Centric or similar blank? I can't find any that say they fit, I can only find blank rotors for the front.

Racecomp Engineering: btw, you don't happen to know if there might be some R16 wheels that may fit even over PP brembos or that's something impossible even in some rally wheel form with spoke design for extra brakes clearance (i don't know eg. rotor diameter of PP brembos)?

On an unrelated note, are rear brake upgrade necessary for track use? I'm planning on going to an AP Racing Sprint BBK with Ferodo DS1.11 pads and I want to know if I need to touch the rear brakes apart from giving them the same pads as the front. Also, if I'm running the DS1.11s as dedicated track pads, what should I use for daily driving? I was thinking about using DS2500s as dedicated street pads, but they're marketed as hybrids so I was worried about issues with noise, dusting, and lack of cold bite. Is it even advisable to run different pads for track and street? I don't want to bed the pads every time I switch.
