Gazmanster - Best to phone Michael ( the Phatman ) on 0412 121 528.

Caution - any contact with the Phatman is not good for your wallet, but brilliant for your ride :lol: :D :lol: :D

He seems a bit mysterious - like the Stig.... :?:

Thanks Tony for organizing this.

Some say he has the ability to levitate money out of your wallett without your wife knowing.................or he can make 8 dump pipes in the same time as it takes somebody to type a design question about em on the forum......but we know him AS THE PHAT! :assassin:

Suggest you get a GB going for rotors as well boys as the stock rotors will likely be the next part you need to replace. I love my type m's but they are aggressive compared to stock pads.

interested.... how agressive?

is there noticeable impact to the stock rotors and if so how long have they been on there for?

I have had my type m's for brembos on the front for 4-5 months now and its starting to catch and cause some unwanted noise. I am changing out my rotors next Tuesday and have elected to use Dixcel Heat Treated and Slotted rotors as a replacement. The pads are fantastic at stopping dust and are a definite improvement in stopping but this comes at an obvious cost. I bedded them in meticulously too.

DIXCEL WITH DIXCEL

BREMBO WITH........ NOTHING

after speaking to Tony at Vsport, he also made the comment, that the subaru oem pads and rotors are a very bad combination.
Not a soobi anymore, but still slightly dirty
