”Assuming all other system parameters are held constant, increasing rotor diameter increases front brake thermal mass and front brake torque output. Think carefully—does your car really need that? " The whole point to braking is to convert forward momentum into heat. So that statement is...

I think that you mistake this site for the minivan site to which you used to post such nonsense. Unknown to you there are a lot of older, educated people who buy STs- including engineers. So let me begin- First of all, have YOU measured the volume difference between the upgrade brake and the...

I would not hold my breath.

....says the acoustical engineer of exhaust pipes. I swear, as this site has become more popular, it certainly seems to have attracted several incredibly talented engineers who also are completely uncivil. With an nearly infinite number of exhausts in lengths, volume, changes in diameter...

And that ladies and gentlemen is why Unbroken gets respect on this site. And why I wait for the pioneers to do this stuff before I attempt it!

Thanks, that is what I wanted to know.

My dad had that same Econoline when I was a kid. Close to the same color. At 13 I would drive it to the dump, 3 on the tree!

Ok, looking at the RB chart, I guess I'm now a bit confused. Unbroken is using the WK2, so this is the 380x34 setup, right? How about you Sch0227? For some reason I thought the WK2 was the TrackHawk version at 400x34. Guys?

When you say "untouched" do you mean used, or new? If used, how many miles? Price for both sides?

I only bring it up due to the orientation of the banjo fitting. You're right, I've also seen other brakes without it, but the orientation of those doesn't lead to suspension travel causing brake line flex that is axial to the banjo fitting- possibly resulting in movement that might cause the...

I sure do wish you still had the stock 21"s available to check fitment. Of all the mods I've seen this is the one I'm most interested in, but am not really looking to swap wheels. What did you do about the brake lines? Did you machine the caliper as suggested by RB? I ask because the lines...

Welcome to the forum! Even if you are a Buckeye! ;-)

Nice write up!

I actually raced rally cars for two years back in the 90's til I realized I had neither the budget nor the requisite recklessness for such an endeavor in both a subaru and an all-trac. The only time I ever used that form of braking was in 180 degree type turns on dirt and at lower speeds. Are...

I'm not an expert, but I know that you aren't going to add a manual break since the ST uses an electronic parking brake, not an emergency brake within drum, so that's pretty much out and I'm betting "unexpected shit" would be the result! From the 555 can I guess a Subie background?

What noise? Do you even read your own posts? You are obviously a noxious, attention seeking troll. Is there nothing else in your life other than exhibiting your shortcomings?

You were given an "out" so that you could stop embarrassing yourself. But, NO, you just have to "double down" on how stupid you sound. You are a hopeless troll.

You've got it! Now drop it!

Google is my friend, and you're right, the explorer uses EBD "Electronic Brake force Distribution". So, theoretically, you can use larger brakes without having to worry (within reason) about increasing braking without worrying about proportioning manually when going to larger brakes. Thanks...

Not being familiar with the ST's ABS, there must be some sort of automatic proportioning in response to differences in the wheel speed sensors? I can understand that happens under ABS engagement, but it has to be happening somewhere, doesn't it? I'm curious. My last car was Jag XF which was...
