Chris nailed it

I'll have more to report on pad alternatives in coming months... my car has been laid up a while, so no track time other than on the mintex extreme

Did you have any trouble with swapping out brake lines,..my Subie always had tough connectors to unbolt from the hard lines that even brake wrench would still slip...

Thanks man, great info, lol didn't know the kit already came with SS lines, but I'll consider buying some hawk performance pads or I'll just wait to see what travis is doing....

What I'm considering:
AP Racing itself just released a new line of brake pads
Worth experimenting with the Hawk pads of course
And Stillen has some strong opinions and good expertise in this area - I need to call them up and get their thoughts...

At certain levels, the pads you select will depend on the course you are running, so it's hard to make a blanket recommendation... just something to keep in mind

But remember the calipers are designed to make it extremely easy to swap pads, so you can run a street pad to the track, swap in the track pads that wouldn't function on the street, bed them in, and you're off and running.

And with the caliper style, as Travis mentioned, there are a ton of pad options that can be used, even for the various styles of tracks.

Some pads have more initial bite, some higher temperatures, all kinds of variables. We have a knowledgeable staff that can guide you through some recommendations.

Travis, what r ur thoughts on the AP Racing's APF405 Brake pads. It is their top high performance street pad and do you have any info on that?? There's so little info about the pads or places to buy them that I'm not even sure that they're out yet...They do have somewhat good info on the AP racing website and I thought these pads will go will with the AP racing kit....So any thoughts??

i'm looking at the new AP Racing pads and will at some point try them... I'll prob be going for the 402s - more track oriented... i've received some advice that there are better compounds - but it's worth trying out diff pads until you find the ones that work for you in different conditions (a given track for example)

all, be sure to check out Chris' new DIY thread on this same BBK !

Sounds like a plan...

I'll stick with my hawk pads until you or someone else tries out the AP racing pads

thanks for checking in, i'll be sure to update here later once I get some time on new pads

18" Wheels
 

Hey Travis, Quick Question....Do you think the AP racing brakes will clear 18" wheels like CE28ns???

^ probably.

Zombie Thread.

They clear my 18" forgestars but the only way to know on the others is to email Stillen and ask them to send you a template / cad drawing... then send that to wheel mfgr or distributor and verify... you might also ask Stillen if they know anyone that has installed them with CE28ns successfully

I don't have a record on file showing that particular wheel works or not. Here is the template:

If you can't get it checked, send me PM and I'll chase it down.

Cool, It does seem to feet, Thanks guys...u were fast...

Anyone know how these stack up with StopTech BBK?
