Hmmm EBC and hawks. Not bad idea. I cant seem to find some rear pads tho that fit the legacy turbo from Hawk.... Ooo well I gound some Satisfied GranSport 6 pads for the rear and hawk for the front.

Silly question, but when the Racing Brake website says ...Legacy Sedan exc. Turbo does that mean excluding the turbo model?

Yes, EXCEPT turbo. I liked the Hawk HP+ better than EBC Greenstuff I used, but both beat stock.

I have heard lots of good things about Hawks, but I plan on just getting EBC (not sure which "color" or type), but EBC is a great performance pad that I feel will satisfy my needs (DD, and Auto-x)

Well i got the combo that im going to run now!

Hawk pads upfront and GranSport in the rear.

I only im going to use the rear pads because i got them for a smoken deal!

As for rotors i got a pair of Power slot's non cryo for the front.

It should be sweet considering i bought the car with only 25% of the front brakes left...

I cant wait untill the parts come in!
