lilcatfeet Posted August 19, 2013 Share Posted August 19, 2013 I love the car, hate the brakes. My service advisor hinted it is an Imprezza flaw. The brakes work but I hate the feel, sometimes I feel like nothing is going to happen when I hit the pedal. ( I miss my TT at time like this...) So question is - has anyone done any brake upgrade and have any recommendations? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AWDfreak Posted September 12, 2014 Share Posted September 12, 2014 (edited) Old as hell topic, but I will chime in. I upgraded my stock brake lines to stainless steel brake lines. This is what I got: Goodridge Stainless Steel Brake Line Kit P/N 24218-CL The stainless steel brake lines combined with DOT4 brake fluid fix most of the brake feel problems. The brake pedal is just so much stiffer than the stock mushy rubber hoses. However, it will be completely solved with some high-performance street brake pads such as Hawk Performance HPS pads.

lilcatfeet Posted May 21, 2015 Author Share Posted May 21, 2015 Didn't see this when originally posted. Who did the brake upgrade, yourself or a shop? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AWDfreak Posted October 17, 2015 Share Posted October 17, 2015 I had Mann Engineering in Santa Clara do the job. They specialize in Subaru vehicles, so they aren't some generic shop. Also, they're the ones that advertised the lines for the Crosstrek. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
