It was also hard to put the Centric seals in, but then it still feels like it's easy to pull them out.
I'm not very confident that they will stay in place. Time will tell...

I'm pretty sure the rear dust boots are identical to the front ones,
so I believe you can just buy 3 front kits instead of 2 fronts and 2 rears.

Hello,

Thank you very much for the info. Not easy to find info for GT86 PP Brembo.
I am planning of buying DBA T3 4000 discs: DBA 4654S-10 front, DBA 42656S-10 rear.

What compounds would you recommend for fast street + mild track/autoX? It's very important for me that the dust is noncorrosive and work good(at least like OEM) in the winter. I don't care if there's much dust, as long as it is not corrosive. Also, mild squeak is not a problem.

I was thinking of DBA XP(Xtreme Performance), Carbotech 1521(Bobcats)/AX6/XP8, Ferodo DS2500, STI ST262964S020 (Sti upgrade for gt86/brz brembo pads). I want to change front + rear, with the same compound.

I think this is what many people here look for in a set of pads, so your answers would help many others. The question is targeted at anyone, not just OP.

Thank you in advance,
Andrei

This part can't help, I'm not an expert on which pad is best for which application.
Personally I run OEM for street and AutoX and a dedicated track pad for track (CSG C2 currently).

Also, all the pads in my post have versions compatible with:
Quote:
Pad shape:
Front: D1001
Rear: D961
So all those variants, you can add to the list on the first page, if you want

DBA XP(Xtreme Performance, maybe SP and RP also), Carbotech all compounds, Ferodo all compounds

Picked up a full set of centric premiums 3 months ago had to wait for back order on the front rotors. Just got them in today, swap incoming cant wait! Got them on Buybrakes.com for $350 all 4.

I have all the parts to get the swap done now. Thank you OP for putting all this info together!

Soooo, after finding out the stealyourshit wants approximately $2200 to do my brakes I've been doing some research and this thread is super helpful. I've got a question and apologize in advance if it's been answered, I did read through the thread and searched first.

Has anyone tried using brembo part # 09.7812.11 or 1X which is compatible with Subaru PN 26300FE000? According to Subaru's part site 26300FE001 is the correct unit for the BRZ PP, but it also states it its the replacement for 26300FE000. My assumption would be there should be no difference other than perhaps materials/construction but nothing dimensionally. Oh and I can get that rotor from brembo for 90 bucks (though out of stock currently&#128534.

Also, for reference the rear rotor PN from brembo is 09.A198.21

Thanks in advance.

Edward

09.7812.11 is correct. Amazon was selling them for $69 a few weeks ago. Prices have gone up alot since. You can see the part number in the pic.

Newbie here, so play along. Best I can figure is that this is the most cost effective way to get Brembos at all four corners? This is for some Solo II and Solo I work.

Front Calipers: $598.14 each
+ 19.20 for Dust Shield
+ 7.46 for two bolts
+ 8.37 for the clip
= 633.17 per side or $1266.34 for front

Rear Calipers: $555.41 each
+ 5.82 for two bolts
+ 6.62 for the clip
+ X.XX for dust shield?
= 567.85 per side or $1135.70 for rear

Is this the most cost effective way to bigger brakes without going nuts? I'm not sure I love the CTS-V plan because I can't figure out what to use for rear calipers.

Thanks for any input!

Some would argue whether having Brembos in the rear is worth it. If you're ok with the base caliper in the rear (nothing wrong with it other than the looks), you can get a more advanced Brembo GT or even B-M4 front kits for less that PP on all four corners. You can find details on those calipers on other threads on this forum. Be aware that they are even more picky than PP with regards to wheel fitment

Unfortunately getting just the front PPs is not an option as it will mess up the brake balance.

Thanks timurrrr, I'm more interested in getting to a system rather than a sum of parts, so this seems like the best path forward to me right now. I'd love to buy the big 6 pot calipers and 4's for the rear, but everyone has a budget!

I'm in the process of doing this. You'll also need the 2 tie bars (one either side for the front calipers), also the brake hoses are different - the PP brembo hoses have a bend on the metal banjo bolt that attaches to the calipers (my 2013 brake hoses do not). I don't know whether the existing hoses on my car would work - but I'm not risking it.

Also, obviously the rotors are larger for the Brembos - and new brake pads.

Thanks for that info, got any part numbers you can share? That would be spectacular not to have to guess.

Yeah, I left off pads and rotors, figuring that was all subjective really.

Tie bar is Subaru part number 26261FE000 (2 required, left and right are identical)
I used Goodridge brake lines specific to Brembo models, which is Goodridge part number 28007
