It's pretty cheap upgrade, and the size of the brake covers should help me stopping.

It should also cool the brake pads quicker I reckon

They work wonders, I have them on my car.
After putting them on I noticed that my car would pull up on average about 5m sooner than it used to, highly reccommend this great upgrade.

Try them, if they don't clear you can just grind the rear out of the wheel spokes until they do.

Just be careful to grind them evenly so that you don't upset your wheelbalance.

Are you stupid! adding extra weight on the corners for no reason instead of using my method where you actually save on weight! You have no idea what you are talking about.

I've also heard you can put one on each side of each disc for twice as much stopping power. Because you will have 2 calipers then, and 2 is always better then 1.

I asked the guy selling, he said they dont fit on the other side.

I guess one will be enough, they are brembo

PM Regashi. He has experimented with the brake covers and might have some pointers for you smile

Also research into other methods of increasing braking performance. For example, smaller engine = less weight and therefore better braking effectiveness. That's why the EJ20 is so much better than the EJ25. Install LED's around the wheel hub. Blue LED's have a cooling effect on the brakes thus increasing the efficiency of the brakes and making it less prone to fading on the track.

No don't just install one! Put one on the front left and one on the rear right. This way you maintain the Subaru Symmetrical AWD system.

You're welcome.

How can you say that increasing your braking performance is useless?

I noticed 90% of Thailand cars have these so I thought they must be good value.

Without them, I don't think my Outback would be able to stop in time.

At first, I thought the plastic melting around my rotors was a bad thing but I've since installed water hoses near my calipers and when the cold water hits the hot plastic, she stops real quick.


Hurrrrnnnn

I don't think spraying water on your brakes is a good idea.
