Like i saiddo it like knight or not at all




Anyways on a serious note the car isn't fast enough to warrant anything special so ebc hawk or any regular brand like pizza said will be fine maybe slight differences but not enough to warrant a big $ difference so see what u can get a deal on






Also if you knew that off the top of your head you need to spend the money on a shrink not pads

can you tell what does have to do with rotors and pads for my KARR

Napa will have the same offered as anyone else. Base white box rotors. or pay extra for Wagners(not worth it IMO) and agaian with the pads. cheap CHEAP, decent, and over priced. just get what is affordable for you man. thats what ive been getting at this whole time. makes almost no diff as long as you get a Decent pad. IE. has anti squeal shims and so forth.

Sorry pizza but I have to back alex here. The wrx has crossdrilled rotors with hawk (iirc) front pads. It's got the "race day" brakes in it the previous owner used to run at the track. They will last a lot longer and are much more aggressive in stopping power. That car will put you through the windshield if you let it. Granted we're talking huge brembo's to stock puny gm crap the point is quality pads will stop better and last longer.
We got the car with 27k on it, just rolled 100k this year and haven't touched the front brakes, ever. Still look like they have plenty of life left and trust me, neither of us drives the car easy.
And to further the point, the rears are stock parts store crap and I've replaced the rear pads twice in the time we've owned the car.
When it ever does need brakes again I'll buy the good stuff, even though it'll be a $400 brake job (got the reciept from the last one). Well worth it if you drive hard. Granted, if you just cruise around and go to shows, or focus on drag racing, parts store stuff will do fine. But, if like me, you treat every trip to work like an open track day, spend the extra.
