Rear rotor options?

Post by Tommio RS »

HI! I have a 93 legacy turbo and i need to get some new rear rotors. I was wondering what type of aftermarket brands there are out there. Or should i just buy some regular subi ones??

Thanks

brand matters little on rotors.
pads are a totally different story though

92 BJ Rust bucket gone
90 BC (I think) Stripper, gone since 2k
86 GL10 Turbo 4wd, Gone since 99

I replaced my front rotor with slotted brembos ones from tire rack. Plan to do rears with same. They weren't much more than stock and they're slotted which is so cool...

Thats kinda what i was thinking. Getting a set of slotted front and rear brake rotors with some good pads like Hawk or Gransport. That would be sweet! As well I would change the fluid too just cuz it needs it.

Yes, I have ceramic/carbon pads from SBS in front and Axiss Metal Master in the rear.Add stainless steel lines as well and you'll be all set. I've run a bunch track days with that set up and not experienced fade.

Caveat, never run track on a hot day. Seattle weather only, cool and damp...So fade is certainly possible. Still way better than stock...

Good luck!
