Got the brakes on yet? You'll notice the difference straight away. For me it was you hardly need to use any pedal pressure to brake well. You know if you stomp on them you are gonna brake very hard.

Must be so much better with a set of rcomps on the front though. I feel that the ABS spoils the potential power of the Brembo's somewhat? Or perhaps more the level of grip from the tyre.

If you had rcomps on it would delay the activation of the ABS due the higher grip levels one would suspect? It doesn't take much to activate the ABS imho, im tempted to remove it but it's saved me before, and probably has several legal implications also.

Nah... still waiting for the brakes to roll up!

Pretty sure we've got everything else lined up so they can go on reasonably soon after they arrive tho!

You will notice the difference straight away as soon as you touch the pedal What pads/fluid?

You don't realise how big those front's are until they are off the car and in your hand, they are wide!

Just going with the stocker Subaru stuff for now as I will probably upgrade the front pads and possibly rotors in 6-12months!

You're not joking about the size of the calipers... they are massive!... even the rears are big, but those fronts are as big as my shoes!
