Brembo Blanks and pads???

MT XT · 09-21-2008, 07:37 PM

Okay. I have an 04 XT with 58,000 miles on the original brakes. Rear pads are due for replacement but the fronts look decent still but the rotors are warped (which seems backwards from the way I have seen any other car wear brakes). I have seen mention of using Brembo Blanks here before but don't know where to get them and what the right part number is for my car. Want to do rotors and pads all the way around. Also would appreciate recommendations on pads that don't squeal like crazy. Car is a sporty daily driver and not tracked/raced. Thanks.

I purchased mine from Tirerack and had them shipped to me (brembo blanks) and paired them with Hawk HPS pads (non-track but sporty driver). That was on my old 99. ON my XT I just picked up, I have ceramic pads with stock rotors, they grab great. But that's an apples to oranges comparison.

I searched up this site, they seem to sell brembo. So part numbers should be there. That's the best I can do Select a Part - 2004 Subaru Forester - AutoPartsWarehouse.com
