    Well went in to get my new rotors and pads installed on the STi and I'm glad I have a friendly dealership close by who I trust for both parts and service.

    Now I'm rolling on fresh tires, pads and rotors.

    Thanks to Steven King, Lydia, and the other fine folks at Subaru of Kennesaw for being professional and courteous, and taking the time to listen to a few requests that I had regarding the work that was done.

    King FTMFW! He always takes Fabulous care! And Sok is a great dealership from my experience!

    What kind of pads and rotors did you put on?

    Hey Face,

    I went with DBA 4000 slotted one-piece front and rear rotors and Hawk HPS pads.

    I had Hawk HP+ pads before.

    Why the drop to HPS?

    I read that the HPS's were more rotor friendly and the squealing with the HP+ was kind of annoying.

    I figured that pad changes aren't really that hard and I can switch them easily when I want to.

    Agreed, HP+ are noisy. However, I do not like the HPS at all. I have begun reading/looking for another brand that performs similarly to the HP+ to just try something new.

    HP+ dust like it is their job.

    I will say that I don't really like the HPS but they are a decent step up from the stockers for the price.

    I heard that slotted rotors eat up pads anyway.

    SOK is pretty new, I wish they had more used subarus and not so many random used cars. I'd defiantly buy mine from there. It's a stones throw away, and it just makes so much sense to buy a STi now, the dealer is no more than 5 miles away. Did you happen to see that nismo 350 there?

    Well any dealer can obtain a vehicle from another. Just ask them to begin searching. If they want your business, they will work for it :)

    We'll should i make a new thread for this then, i don't want to thread jack. I found 2 identical STi's as a place called cosmo motors in NC with a 4k mile diff in the 2. yeah, ill make a new thread with the links, yall tell me what you think. As much as I wish I could say built not bought with my next car. It makes more sense for me to get one with some mods already done.

    Quite the opposite, the most coveted Subarus are the unmodified ones (these become harder and harder to find as time goes on). Start a new thread!
