Hi Guys,

i'm just searching around for a friend of mine who has just purchased a 2006 subaru liberty STI

is in need of new pads and rotors and just seeing what the best options are.

would rather stay away from stock pads and rotors due to being pricey.

thinking about DBA rotors + Hawk pads atm.

thanks in advance!

I can recommend the DBA T2 slotted rotors and Intima SS pads combination. Work very well for the street, low dust and affordable.

I went for the SR because I have an ... aggressive.. driving style :)
but I concur.

The site sponsors like Street to Track is where I got mine from. I think I paid $600 for everything but that was a few years ago. I'd send Paul a PM and see what he can do.

Street to Track, Brakes Direct, your local Autopro, etc.

Nothing wrong with plain rotors, ask for plain DBA or RDA rotors plus pad of your choice.
