Sonicfrog Posted March 21, 2006 Share Posted March 21, 2006 My 87 GL-10 T-Wag has four wheel disk. It stops as well as my friends 99 Cougar with four wheel disk + ALB Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
carfreak85 Posted March 29, 2006 Share Posted March 29, 2006 Just finished the swap on my wagon. Holy cow, is this what modern brakes feel like?!? The new brakes are WAY better than drums, I highly suggest doing this conversion! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Numbchux Posted March 29, 2006 Share Posted March 29, 2006 agreed, this is probably the best thing that you can do for a subaru. HUGE upgrade. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
eggroller Posted March 29, 2006 Share Posted March 29, 2006 Great....another mod I have to do on my car.... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
torxxx Posted March 30, 2006 Share Posted March 30, 2006 yea major safety factor with the disc brakes. I think that is my favorite mod that I've done on my car. Makes it so you can drive faster since it stops on a dime. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Turbone Posted March 30, 2006 Share Posted March 30, 2006 Biggest difference is on my lifted Hatch. Try stopping that sucker on the freeway going 60mph in traffic:eek: I've had to drive it for the last 5 days while waiting for parts on my XT6. Freeway and city driving with 30x11.50 Swampers, disc brakes are definatly needed. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
