Brake upgrade

[Angus]

I'm going to be doing a brake job. I'd like to upgrade my pads and rotors. I'd like slotted rotors. Any suggestions?

Power stop seems nice. Never used them on my Si. I’ve had them in all my Subarus with no issues.
Personally when I get to needing new pads / rotors I’m just going to do the 27Won big brake upgrade.

I just put the EBC slotted rotors and EBC Red Stuff pads on mine. It's great at the track, absolutely love them.

StopTech Slotted Rotors for the Si are a pretty solid option, good for both Street and Track use:

Fronts: https://unity-performance.com/colle...products/stoptech-front-rotors-si-coupe-sedan

Rears: https://unity-performance.com/colle...s/stoptech-slotted-rear-rotors-si-coupe-sedan

To determine Pads, you have to see your use for them first. If you're doing mostly Street, EBC Redstuff is a great choice that a lot of folks have gotten from us. If you're a hard street driver, and will be tracking occasionally then EBC Yellowstuff or Hawk 5.0. I'm running the EBC Yellowstuff on my Blue Si

If you want dedicated track pads, then we'll have to look at Carbotech or G-loc Pads. Here's our selection of pads, and other brake components as well including Fluid, and Braided Lines:

I bought the EBC Red's W/ Slottes rotors. Now for the rear.... What pads do you reccomend for the rear?

You can stick to OEM, or for more even brake-force distribution get EBC Redstuff rears as well ??

So I did Redstuff pads and slotted rotors up front, and Stoptech slotted w/ Redstuff pads on the rear.

I run Hawk 5.0 pads with Stoptech slotted rotors, and RBF600 fluid and stainless steel lines. Like the setup alot

Do you feel the stainless lines make a noticable difference? Is it something worth doing again, in your opinion?

I will put stainless lines on every car I own. I noticed a firmer pedal feel when I switched out the old rubber lines.

its day and night with yellow stuff & r1 geomet slotted... better cold bite , pedal feel great and I saw more power braking at high speed ! Well I have 0 regrets of upgrading pads and rotors ! ?? have to paint back the caliper .... sads winter here?

Can't speak on just the lines since I did everything at once (rotors, pads, lines, fluid), but everything as a whole has made a massive difference but regular driving, spirited driving, and on-track

Second this also. SS lines made my factory Si brakes a lot more responsive. Less braking force is needed to apply at the pedal to engage the brakes now.
