PBR Metal Master's

 

 

I know they are backordered up here in Canada for the rear, but you may be able to find some down there.

 

I run PBR Metal Masters, with Brembo rotors on my Rally Car. I have come to the end of a stage, with the smell of brakes in the air, and rotors probably glowing red. I didn't experience any fade at all during the stage....Although i am running Motul brake fluid...so that helps a pile.

 

The metal masters are cheap...around $50 a set in CDN....Probably like 35 for you guys...maybe less...

we seriously need more info on that rally car of yours (/thread hijack)

 

what kind of brembos? are the sloted or anything or just OEM replacments

you guys will get a nice post on the rally car when i drag it back from up north.

 

We finished the thing soo quickly, we weren't able to take many pics.

 

It's up north with a blown head gasket now....i'm gonna drag it back in a couple weeks.

 

 

The Brembos are OEM replacements. However the brembos are made to a VERY high standard. yes..you can buy crappy rotors for like 20 bucks..but they are some crappy castings from taiwan or korea. For the price of the Brembos (about $50 cdn each) they are well worth the money.

 

Going to a Slotted or Cross-drilled rotor actually decreases your stopping power with todays pad formulations. Cross-drilled rotors will crack (because NONE of them are cast with the holes). Slotted..you will just eat up your pads quicker. Normal "blanks" are the Best braking performance you can get, they just don't "bling"

I just bought a set of Axxis Metal Masters for the front and haven't installed them yet. But anyways I just wanted to know where you found Metal Masters for the rear because I looked everywhere with no luck. Please post a link to an online shop that I can buy them from. I tried brakewarehouse.com and that is where I bought my front brakepads. Also, do they make Axxis Ultimates for our EA82 powered cars? Couldn't find any of those neither.

The part # for the rear pads is this.

 

D648 M

 

That is the PBR part #.

 

I really wouldn't worry too much about the rear....they don't to squat anyways.

cool

I think the rears do a normal amount of work, which is why I want to upgrade the braking system has a whole instead of the front first.

Yeah, but WHERE can we get them?

do a google search I found them you can too :)

I did a search and didn't seem to come up with a dealer that sold subaru pads. Where do you guys get them? I'm planning on doing brakes over winter break and I'd like to upgrade them.
