#22481 of 31395 Caliper Testing by paisan Oct 10, 2004 (3:27 pm)
Well just got back from a nice day at the track yesterday. Was testing a set of calipers from racingbrake.com on the legacy. Hopefully we'll be carrying them shortly. It's always a bit scary being the first to run a particular product on a 500 mile road test plus 100+ miles of on-track. Results of the 4 piston calipers so far... Weight: 6lbs each v. 11lbs each for Subaru 4-pot Calipers Size: Smaller pistons than the Subaru 4-pots, only slightly smaller, however they allow for OEM WRX 16" wheels to clear them w/o spacers. Performance: As good or better than the 4-piston Subaru Calipers I've been running for 15K miles. Looks: Bling Aluminum and shiny Pricing: Looking to be retail in the $500 range w/o pads (It uses the same pads as the OEM Subaru 4-pot calipers) More info as events warrant! Should be a nice upgrade for Forester/Legacy/WRX/RS etc. -mike

I am beat but the condo looks great! Took almost 4 full days o' painting, 1 sore juice! I forgot to offer beer, silly me! The rough part was the "popcorn" texture on the ceilings, yikes. Managed about 28 mpg on the trip, still can't match my wife's mileage and the Forester was nearly empty! Patti: if you have a router set up, you may only need to release and renew your IP address. If you connect directly to the DSL modem, just run the Self Install CD again. -juice

Rally cars go faster and they're moving sideways. -juice

faster? Hmm I dunno about that. But any motorsport is better than football IMHO.... -mike Replies to this message: bigelm (Oct 11, 2004 5:22 am) rsholland (Oct 11, 2004 5:28 am)

The long awaited, much anticipated, and over rated return of Hutch. That was an interesting link not to mention a cool looking car. Wonder if we'll ever see anything like that here. - Hutch
