Thank you for the knowledge

Great video! Thanks for sharing!!!

So what’s the pedal feel and overall performance like compared to stock?

I did the z32 upgrade. I'm wondering can you put 30 mm VA rotors instead of the 28mm vb ones?

what is the beni of a two piece over a 1 piece

For normal brakes some owners manual break in procedure first 300 miles normal driving

im putting the z32 calipers in the front and 2017 sti brakes in the back.i hope it will feel good

This is why if the company has the option, you pick Pre-bedded pads (Carbotech, GLOC brake pads has this option). From what I understand, if you use brand new rotors, there will initially be a few laps where your car will just naturally transfer materials to the new rotor. Then mid day when You and your car are all warmed up, the rotors are also bedded. The tricky part is getting your Track pads bedded as they are normally only going to bed at high temperatures. Therefore, Go for the Pre-bed option and don't gamble on screwing up (even though technically it isn't a hard process). - New Rotors bed naturally with use. If you are in actual racing and not for hobby, have the rotors pre-bedded for maximum reliability and consistency. - If you use Old rotors, it is recommended to clean them up with a sander and 80-50 grit sandpaper with brake clean. Then use your brake bad of choice to prevent material contamination mix. - Brake pads (track pads) need high temperature to start bedding process of the brake pad itself. The resins in it need to be burned off.

Why do you need to disconnect the battery?

My question is will it fit under the Base OEM wheels?

Are you saying I could not safely run stock wheels with this brake upgrade?

can you use z32 rear brakes or only fhi brakes?

Very nice video

What year or model when searching for front calipers z32 on rock auto? All I can find is 95 300 ZX and the have raise Nissan logo am I missing something because I don’t see the raiders Nissan logo on your calipers in the video.

What corner would you start in to bleed all the brakes?

Ken could have saved me a bunch. Could you link the caliper?

Calipers: Fronts are 'new' copies of the infamous Z32 caliper. Rock Auto has stock. Rears are still re-man's and Rock Auto showed stock on those as well.

The EBC Bluestuff pads are working out great on this. They are quiet, have great bite and the firm pedal and good bite is making driving much more fun for me. It will still need higher temp track pads for any real track work but for the street this is a solid setup with a big improvement over stock.

We've added a kit with front and rear brackets and front and rear brake lines to our website. www.knsbrakes.com/products/car/108630_2023+Subaru+WRX+Manual+Transmission-No+Elec.+P-Brake/items/item/134755

$549 for 2 brackets and 4 brake lines? Guys come on, that should be $299 tops. I don’t even want the rear, I just want a kit for the front.

Could you build a similar kit for the 22+ BRZ/GR886?

Nothing wrong with spacers below 5mm.

Hope you can provide a total package and price soon?

Can’t wait! ETA on the lines?

Around 30lbs is how much exactly. Why did you not weigh just the new rotor? This is all so eratic. Im interested in the rotor though

Will any z32 brake line work?

I will be buying.

This is awesome. I will be buying this. When will it be on the website?

Are we expecting a complete front and rear kit with calipers and brackets with lines? That would be perfect.

The timing of this video is perfect!

Those front calipers are too close in the wheel for regular driving!

very cool, I love oem plus

put those caliper links in the description!

Great video, how is the right quality for daily use on those coilovers. I had a set of fortune autos on my VA that everybody raves about and they were not good. They were not good. Everyday ride quality was crappy. I’m curious to know how these feel.

Those are 18" wheels you test fit? Will 17" wheels fit? I winter drive mine.

It’s smart people like you that make my life easier! Thank you

What about dust shields?

around 1:33, was that bird shit? I own a 23 wrx and every fucking bird that sees my car pinches off a loaf on it. pisses me off

Be careful driving and be safe

When does the brake kit come out?

Based on your prior recommendation, I ran an XP12/10 combo on KNS rotors at VIR this weekend with good results. I took the first session to bed them in, and they continued to improve throughout the weekend with transfer and heat. I was in the mostly stock Electron Blue C5 Z06. I'll walk over and say hi next time!

@knsbrakes Im excited to get my kit once its ready

In your previous video you mentioned the Z32 caliper upgrade that can use the stock rotors on the VB. Is that hardware ready for us to order? Is it safe for me to start shopping for Z32 calipers now?

Do a bunch of 80-20mph stops…. Officer - I am bedding in my brakes, it’s fine.

What would you recommend for aggressive street use as a daily driver with lots of hard stops during commuting and weekend spirited driving?

Excellent knowledge! Subscribed 😊

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

Hey, looking into pads now, saw dba online, small amount of retailers, any comment on the pads. Dust level, comparison?

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 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
