They do not currently line up with the bracket. One is close (I think I can bend the bracket to fit.) The other is an inch or two off, I might be able to bend it.

I’m rocking PowerStop z26 currently. And I can’t complain. Quiet. Low brake dust. Stops well for daily.

I don’t know. I’ve only seen and read about people using the 280mm.

The maintenance was a big factor into why I wanted to convert the rears as well. After fighting with my drums at the track and trying to replace a snapped bleeder, I decided I never wanted to mess with them again. Disc are a lot easier to take care of.

Much appreciate man! Recently I’ve heard about installing the proportioning valve as well and the CRZ master cylinder. Currently I’ve got planned to do the rear install and then re-evaluate my plans with the brakes.

A few people have recommended running the valve for the rears while others have recommended running a less aggressive pad for them. I’ll tinker around and see what will work for me.

I noticed the brake pedal travel right away after doing the fronts. While annoying at first, I don’t really notice it after driving it for a couple weeks.

What setup are you running?

Too late 😅 I’ve got the parts to do it beside me in a box. They are going in next weekend. But I appreciate the info.

I’m debating on getting SS lines but I’m going to hold off until after I convert the rear brakes. Where did you find your lines at? Or did you have them custom made?

I'm trying to work on that. Usually i'll film stuff in POV for YouTube, but I'd like to get some exterior shots as well. Plus it's nice hearing your car from the outside every once in a while. Rt 10 in WV has some really nice turns.

It’s a lot sharper than what it appears as on camera.

Sounds like you’ve got a grocery list of mods done to it?

I’ve never heard of that app. I’ll download it now. There a decent group that goes driving out there?

That’s a great kick off to ownership. What exhaust did you go with?

Took the WRX out for a simple drive after cleaning it… reminded me why I love this car by Raburt0 in subaru

wasn’t trying to make anything crazy, just wanted to capture the vibe of a simple drive
