Default My brake set up for DD and the occasional track day-

Hey guys, everything is done and ordered. Here is the list.

-COBB stainless steel brake lines
-(2) half liters of Motul RBF 600 racing brake fluid
-Brake Man #9 Front Pads
-Satisfied PRO ceramic pads for the rears
-Stock Rotors (Maybe in the future they will be changed)

Now, I was originally going to just get OEM pads for the rears, because I was told pads were covered under warrenty. When I talked to the suby dealership they said they were not covered. So I checked out the thread about the tire rack pads that seemed to work fine, so I checked them out and ordered the ceramic pads.

-Let me know what you think.

-Tim

Very nice setup. If you track the car, be prepared to replace or machine the rotors at some point, as the fronts tend to want to warp when they get very hot (mine included). But for now, you definitely chose some nice stuff Just make sure you have a flare wrench when you are installing those brake lines, you will see what I mean when you start trying to get the stock lines off.
