Definitely interested in the results of the Z32 caliper testing 👍

Ken dropping knowledge again. The man knows brakes.

Cant wait to see what you have coming up! This channel is a gem thanks!

Glad to see this, I've been trying to figure out my VB's brake situation for a while now!

Excellent knowledge! Subscribed 😊

Came across this randomly and I'm so glad I did I can't wait to see what packages you will offer to upgrade the vb brakes

Definitely interested in this, can’t afford to drop 3k on a kit rn

Yes, finally, an option for a daily. I've been waiting for this. Bring the next video please🙏

Damn Ken, getting finer with age! Nice video!

LOL, funny this video just came out the day I'm painting my 4pot/2pot 2007 wrx brakes for my 04 forester. Can't wait to see what you guys think of the upgrade!

only thing that would have made this better would links to purchase the items to upgrade. but thaks!

Where can I get the brackets for the z32 calipers

This is exactly what ive been looking for looking forward to seeing your result an what you come up with cause the stock brakes suck an i need to figure out something before i tune the car

This is super interesting for the daily driver folks that want a better caliper experience with upgraded pads without paying $3-5k for a BBK.

Please do the z32 brakes!!!!!

More info on the z32 caliper where can we get the bracket can we see a short install ? Thanks for the knowledge !

Any idea when that bracket will be available?

Thanks for the history lesson and it gave me a much better understanding on the stock brakes. I'm new to the WRX and car modding in general. I feel the stock brakes are too soft, with very little feel/control. What would you recommend for me, as I would never track or autocross the car, just weekday commuting and weekend spirited driving on some back-roads? Thanks!

When i saw this 1:40 pad/design implementation it spoke to me "probably weak master/management/balance/feel" idk when theres aspects of "cheaping out" it always means almost an instant/out of the box upgrade/necessity post purchase....esp if you already had come from a high performance/background WRX heading into that generation...or others. What i find hard to understand is that subaru has a cult following and aspects of reliability on the road from a performance/predictability standpoint which is why im surprised they cheaped out on the brakes for this gen wrx and even the BRZ...into something that necessitates new lines/fluid/pads at the least....and BBK/rotors and master at most to be ideal. The implications of brake falure or a lack of consistency/expectation yields on the road/under harsh conditions....would generally YIELD the opposite of the following/industry standard subaru has layed out for their customers/consumers. Even right down to sti/transmission/gear swaps etc for the true purists/enthusiasts that seek the true ceiling of what subaru's potential/can offer. Even now offering "collectable trim" packages that offer brembos XD as like a near 10,000$ premium factory/at signing. Is pretty insulting to their heritage. VS proving theyre out to "compete" with modern "industry" standards and consumer/index oriented metrics....and platforms. VS standing on the principle of being able to offer a flat/boxer platform with would be reliability and calculated/expectations of performance....esp under harsh/hard driving conditions.

Will you guys be doing any testing on the new TR knuckles to see if it opens up more options without using a weird rotor?

Same rear rotors as a Legacy GT? I just happen to have an extra set of rears (KNS653) for my 2006. Does that fit or is it 2010+ Legacy?

Very interesting video quick question. what's the bracket part number or name that you are gonna use for the nissan 4 piston calipers in this video? i would like to try this on my vb wrx

Def interested in a reliable safe option thats not 3k

@KNSBrakes do you have an update as to when the upgraded z32 caliper and hardwares parts are going to be available on your site? Thanks in advance. Mainly looking for the Z32 caliper adapters

The Subaru 4 pots upfront. You mentioned they were not very good. Were you referring to the 2015 to 2017 STI 4 pots when you said that? (As that's the route I was going to go on my VB, just hadn't worked out rotors yet or any spacers needed etc. not opposed to having a bigger rotor setuo if you offered it. I don't like doing the hib drilling stuff like witj Cadillac calipers. .i was also looking at things like alfa 6 pots + 4 pots (adapter needed obviously).

why did they make the pad smaller but keep the rotor the same size on the new wrx? oof. the current WRX is such a let down in so many ways.

I don't see it on the site I want to order this

I just put raybestos coated rotors and akebono proact pads on my wifes crv, and those brakes feel WAY better than whatever crap came on my new vb. Embarrassing! LOL

What are the part numbers for those calipers from Rock Auto? I'd like to purchase them all if they're $150/each remanufactured. $600 for calipers, $900 for the DBA rotor kit with Hawk pads, and I have the G2 enamel paint kit in my garage = so for $1,500 I can get a mini BBK? I'm sold. What are the part numbers please?

The stock brakes are really bad. The car is too quick not to have better stopping power. I changed the brake pads to EBC red stuff and got way too much squealing for a dialy driver. So I bought a vented and slotted rotor with brake pads, and the brake pedal feel is much improved with better stopping power. Plus there's no squealing. If i had enough money I would have bought a big brake kit, with new lines, rotors and pads, but my kit is sufficient for now. Hopefully the TR brakes will be a direct fitment/upgrade!
