Hey guys so I'm in a little bit of a debate with myself here. I recently sold my daily driver, which was a 2015 wrx. That has forced me to daily drive my dsm. I don't really mind it but it has made me realized that my braking is terrible in comparison. Even though my wrx had 2 piston rotors with I think 12 inch rotors it stopped amazing. It's definitely not a fair comparison between both cars but I'm searching for better for my dsm.
My Car is a 2g awd with hawk 5.0 pads, braided brake lines and super ate brake fluid. I have searched and came down with two options: outlander brakes or evo brembos. I actually have evo brembos already but the cost to get them installed will be costly. Plus finding wheel options is a pain and I don't want to run usual evo wheels either. Outlander brakes on the other hand retain wheels that fit our cars with no problem. I get the concept of increasing braking torque with a larger rotor but is this option even worth it? It will be must cheaper for sure. Which would you guys do? Car is a daily driver now and I only drag race (sometimes) with spritied street driving.
On a last note I know tires are a huge factor to this and I am running street tires that are a little older. However that will be addressed very soon. Thanks to all
