Stopping power much better than stock, good bite, squealled a little but gone after 1 week, probably time to be seated in fully

I know, I know, time to drop it. Looking at H&R Springs maybe in the Spring.

You have the RacingBrake rotors on the back too? I have them on all four mated with the HAWK HPS pads. I was surprised at the improvement over stock, but my OE brakes were shot :-?

Never had a problem with them before on my EK-9 hatch,
On the subaru it's more gripier, no squeal , minimal road noise, havent tried them in the rain yet

nah, i was going to order the Rear Brake upgrade, but Dale said they are coming out with the 2pot rear which should be a direct bolt and might be available in the Spring. Besides my rear brakes are fine and the legacy is front biased anyway. When the time comes to do the rears I think i wanna do the 4pot/2pot setup.
