I've actually overcome that issue by fitting higher friction rear pads. So I've got Stoptech in front, and Project Mu B-Spec in the rear. I'm no expert, but I can feel the 'front dive' effect has reduced somewhat.

What year WRX? I don't know how the rear hubs have changed on WRXs over the year.

I'm going with 04 STI front and rear calipers. I'm currently using 57 extreme 19x8.5 face 1 with a +45 offset and 9.5 rears with +42 offset. Does anyone know if it will have trouble clearing the STI calipers?

Rears will have tons of space. It's only the front clearance that matters. |

Any one has any suggestions about the brake bias??
I got Stoptech Street front and rear now; however the brake bias is really bad. I think probability because the Sti Brembos are not designed for our car, so you can not use the same pads front and rear. At hard brake I can feel the rear end of my car not stable. I think the rear brake is a little bit weak relatively. Am I correct? Or the brake bias is not that bad it is just my personal feeling a stronger pads rear will not change alot? Now I got Carbotech Bobcat 1521 pads front and rear not installed yet. I went 1521 because they might have less brake dust. I am thinking to keep the 1521 front and to get a relatively strong pad on the rear. Any one has any suggestion on this? A Street pad like 1521 will be preferred. Thank you!

Are you saying that it's too strongly biased to the rear or not strong enough?
