Gained another sub here, man! I hope you blow up! Your demeanor, content and especially quality of video are fantastic! So I have got to know, what camera did you use to shoot this video? Cheers!

[@BlakesGarage]

+Aaron McFarlane thanks man really appreciate it. It's a canon 70d check my video description It has all the gear I use with Amazon links.

[@williammoffatt946]

When you said blow up in your comment I thought you were referring to his ej at first... I think that makes me a bit of a subie guy haha!

[@eddietalon7006]

i know I'm kind of off topic but does anybody know a good website to watch new series online ?

[@enriquecharles6826]

@Eddie Talon I dunno I watch on flixportal. You can find it through google :P -enrique

[@royalonyx2919]

@Enrique Charles Definitely, been using Flixportal for since march myself :D

[@SarahnTuned]

[@EvoRuben]

I’m supporting this guy forsure man his videos are super helpful. Thank you

[@davidmudrik6539]

Nice video! That's such a killer setup for the money

[@KevinEdgar]

Kind sir, you speak very clear and don't say uhm every other word. Thank you for that! Also, very nicely detailed and quality video. KZbin needs more tutorials like this.

[@smurik1]

You’re just a crazy guy with knowledge in upgrading your subi. Very informative video. Thanks a lot

[@WhiteWingSTI]

Good job on the install. That looks great and I'm sure it's world of improvement with your braking department!

[@kevingoudswaard3322]

[@BlakesGarage]

Hell yeah that's exactly what I make these video's for glad I can help.

[@jprince3]

congrads on 10k! love the vids! keep up the great work!

[@traviishunter]

I've been watching your videos for quite some time now and I still can't figure out why your channel hasn't blown up yet! all your videos are good and really informative..anyway I look forward to the review and if they turn out to be decent it looks like that's my next upgrade for my forester.

[@BlakesGarage]

+Travis Anderson thanks Travis make sure to share the video to help my channel grow.

[@etnies88]

Props for all the information provided and links! I already have brembo's but I watched the video anyway.

[@dlroto]

Very nice vid Blake, I can't wait to hear a review on them.

[@kyberman9840]

Very informative video man. I will be follow your steps when i swap my brakes in the future!

[@boostedbuiltgarage]

Man that's a cool conversion! They look the same as Evo Brembo's. Sweet video

[@javierruiz7992]

best subaru channel...hands down

[@husky701rider9]

Just found your channel and just bought my first project car. It's a bugeye thanks for the tips you earned a subscriber

[@DAVIDFLEET11]

This was an awesome video. I'm probably gonna do the same on my '03 WRX. thanks for the DIY

[@TheJuanesjr0911]

I don’t usually subscribe to any channel but this video has been extraordinarily helpful to me and I like what you are doing so I’m subscribed... thank you for all the detailed work and the amazing video quality. Would be awesome to see you post links for the 15+ rotors but they can be found. Thank you again

[@killeminati173]

Thanks for the video!! Just picked up the whole kit from a dude that was selling it so now I just have to buy the break rotors

[@BlakesGarage]

Sick

[@robertb105]

Sir, thank you. Video helped out a whole lot. my stopping power is incredible compared to my stock.

[@BlakesGarage]

Subaru Love glad I could help out!

[@rfe1008]

badass video brotha, super sick setup!!

[@wrxFTWdey]

i pretty much hate all car channels other than mcm lol, but i dig this one. has some good info and what not. Probably end up doing this brake swap on my car in the near future.

[@shamous180]

yet another project I get to figure out if I can make it work on my OBXT... dam you lol... great work.. subscribed

[@maddoxinc1642]

I subbed because of the beard. A real man's accessory. Also, the brakes are beast.

[@BlakesGarage]

+MaddoxInc haha thanks for the sub man.

[@Jocktech]

love watching the beard grow as the channel does

[@bienmendoza]

dude props with the best angles you can possible do and recording it!

[@BlakesGarage]

+bien mendoza Thanks Bien glad you liked all the angles.

[@AdventuresWithLogan843]

i love this brake upgread! i wanted to do it on my 240, but it wasn't 5 lug!

[@BlakesGarage]

I know I love it already. The CTS-V 6 pots on the 240 are SO DOPE!!

[@SpencerHogg]

Damn dude!! This was a fantastic video, very well done - excellent DIY / instructions. I mean, I don't think I can do this on my 2016 wrx hahaha but I still watched and can respect the efforts and work you did bro awesome!! PS; The turbo snail beard tee is f*cking epic hahaha!!

[@BlakesGarage]

+NinjaxBart Thanks Dude. It will work on the 16 WRX you just need 5x114.3 rotors. I glad your digging the T-Shirt.

[@christopherroldan7992]

Great video man can't wait to do this, better than spending 800-1000 on STI brembos

[@BlakesGarage]

+Christopher Roldan thanks!

[@natural146]

This video is very pragmatic I love it, thanks bro. Question can this be done to my 98 legacy outback Gt 2.5?

[@morepsi1651]

Great video! Are you going to post a review of how good or bad they actually perform? Very curious to see how you like them because you drive your car hard.

[@jacobmeyer9766]

Removing important shields, not oiling the tap. Good stuff.

[@antdo]

10k!!!!! Congrats

[@BlakesGarage]

+Do Boy's Garage Thanks Man!

[@sethwright]

Awesome video man!

[@m.r.freeze974]

Awesome video! I wish I knew this a year ago when I had to change out my rotors... StopTech slotted and drilled sport rotors don't even compare the a big brake kit and calipers...

[@afshinfarahbakhsh3773]

Great video! I didn't know this was possible.

[@ifnotyouheartwhoelse]

Looking sick. Can't wait to see the stock wheels over them.

[@BlakesGarage]

+Benton Plunkett I have a quick clip on that. I will post it in a few days.

[@RandomAdamFun]

Thanks, found this helpful. Did you notice wearing on the pad a little off? Like they were sitting slightly above the edge of the rotor?

[@jaysfasttoys]

Excellent video brotha, nice work! Definitely smashed that subscribe button for you!

[@BlakesGarage]

Thanks

[@ArtofFrugality]

Can't wait for the test drive! I'm definitely nervous to bore and tap those holes for the mounting bracket.

[@BlakesGarage]

+Code3WRX it really is a lot easier than it seems.

[@Shiftaholics]

I love the vid but I wonder will it fit my subaru SH 2012? I know a lot of impreza parts fit but I want to be sure before making the investment.

[@notorioussouljur]

this is pretty dope thanks for sharing it

[@jerrylee3887]

This guy is awesome!

[@TWRX_Chuck]

Congrats on 10k dude! So sweeeeet! This is an epic mod I totally would gave done this if I hadn't of upgraded to the sti!

[@BlakesGarage]

I know right the stock brakes are poo poo!

[@krishangovin9054]

I haven't watched the video yet, but I know it's going to look fresh!

[@BlakesGarage]

+Krishan Govin thanks Krishan they do look awesome!

[@englishman805]

i did the swap, all works great. I noticed my pads to overlap the top of the rotors by about 2mm. is this something you also found?

[@Candyman1314520]

Great tutorial bro. The channel has come far, keep on at it. Btw beard on point now only if I can grow a full bread that would be mint.

[@BlakesGarage]

Thanks Benny!

[@waybach]

Sup dude! Thanks so much for the detailed info on the video! Quick question , are you having any issues with the brake pads overhanging? If not, how are your pads holding up? Thanks so much in advance!

[@CL_Audio_Tuning]

This is Bloody Awesome!!!!

[@ChosenOne247]

Awesome video mate! Do you know if these would fit Rota Grid R 18x9.5+38?

[@GodxPoseidon]

Would this modification fit a 2005 blob eye usdm wrx? And Do you think that this is better than a jdm caliper swap? I’m trying to get as much information about this modification. Thank you so much for the video !’

[@fups1]

Great video! is there a way to get these in the rear also?

[@TheMMAlife]

those are some awesome tools man!! luv the different colors lol

[@TickleFingers]

Those are NOT awesome tools..... Those are harbor freight junkers. Don't ever mistake cool appearance for quality like SnapOn or Mac tools.

[@BlakesGarage]

I'm pretty sure that was a joke. They work fine I have a bunch of Mac tools in SAE but not metric. These work fine. You can beat on them and you don't have to care because they are super cheap to replace.

[@merrekl9890]

Nice install ! will you put a video on about bleeding your brakes ?

[@dlugsch]

Anyone know what size the spacers are that come in this kit?

[@peterhatch1583]

Thks for video could you use the kit on a 240 volvo wagon thks

[@AidanTree]

You seem to have a lot of knowledge! Love these videos man!

[@BlakesGarage]

+JellyFishJuices Thanks dude!

[@5riddikk]

great vid bro

[@terraformingcats8175]

Hey, Blake! Great job on the video man! I have a 2016 WRX and am wanting to do this eventually. Are you planning to do a rear brake upgrade video?

[@BlakesGarage]

Yes I will eventually. Trying this out for now to see what I think. I'm really liking the upgrade so far.

[@MattGreenland]

A few misconceptions: -Keep the shields, they will protect the rubber joints from the heat of the brakes. The heat will kill the joints from the racetrack. -Rubber lines don't deflect remotely close enough to notice. Regular braided lines also have to be replaced every 2 years. -XP8 pads are not enough for the heat this car is going to generate on the racetrack, XP10 at the least, XP12 recommended with that horsepower and weight. -Don't use race pads if you are scared of brake noises -Only use steel nuts for the wheel -Lastly, stickers don't matter, it's a performance part, not stance nation rice club.

[@92BGLancer]

you forgot to mention the front bias the car will now have affecting it's performance at the track. It's good to have good front brakes but when you neglect the rears and the fronts are doing all the work you're basically hurting your track times especially on turns when the nose will dive forward every time you brake.

[@shadowdemon7770]

Matt Greenland he doesn't respond to comments.

[@Drifftpanda]

Hey man nice video , what size is the tap ?

[@skaskank99]

Out of curiosity, would you happen to have a measurement for the caliper mounting bolt spacing for the new caliper?

[@alpinewhite46]

Good stuff man

[@brianlau8316]

AWESOME i want to do this sooooo bad . !!!

[@steveo8424]

Do an update video please? Wondering about brake bias and how well the "torque vectoring" is working with these new brakes.

[@ThemePark-a-gogo]

I know this video has been out for a little while and I love your series. Great info and fun. I'm planning on doing this myself with my '16 wrx but wonder if there is a difference between getting the brakes you used or if the "V" brakes are virtually the same thing or could they offer better performance? On the site it does say it's a "V" kit but I believe the ones you used are the standard CTS berm no brakes. I may be wrong...

[@BlakesGarage]

You need to use these calipers: ACDelco 172-2587 GM Original Equipment Front Passenger Side Disc Brake Caliper Assembly amzn.to/1SrwQI0 ACDelco 172-2586 GM Original Equipment Front Driver Side Disc Brake Caliper Assembly amzn.to/1U460oz They do use the CTSV calipers for some of the other car brands that they make spacers for, But the Subaru kit requires these. Check the description for all the links to the parts needed.

[@alichaudhry8382]

A lot easier than I thought. I really want to buy some

[@BlakesGarage]

+Ali Chaudhry DO IT!

[@DirtyDocV]

Bro absolutely astounding! I am going to do this shit to my 2016 WRX.

[@BlakesGarage]

+Michael Vereecke Do it you will love it. I have all of the links for the parts you need in the description.

[@hafizzudinrahman1174]

Nice Video. May I know the measurement for The Caliper Bracket Between top and bottom. It 130mm or 140mm

[@michaelmcdonough2202]

Did you ever upgrade your rear caliper or run more aggressive pad? Scoping out this upgrade for my VA WRX

[@Jolinator]

Nice this just popped up in my sub box and has 200+views already! also you can use some saran wrap over your lug nuts before sliding your socket on that will stop them from getting skuffed up if your undoing your wheel nuts all the time for mods and track days if your socket is a super tight fit it wont work but thats what i use on my snapon sockets and no marks so far :) the painting you did on those calipers looks fricking mint. hehe look at that lovely new steering rack and tie rods:P your only 16 subs off 10k man! all the best!

[@BlakesGarage]

+Jolinator Dude awesome idea! I will use that for sure! Thanks.

[@jordanrumsey1493]

Thats a good tip, im goign to try that- thanks!

[@StrykerWolf92]

Should make a video showing how to bleed the brembo's, since they have dual bleeders unlike the stock calipers.

[@slobson]

Great vid Blake, keep up the good work. Have you experienced any pad knockback with the new brembos?

[@BlakesGarage]

+slobson No I haven't noticed anything.

[@justinrey4770]

Will the ctsv rear brembo brakes fit perfectly as well?

[@dejotachamo]

you just made my day

[@spikemaul]

Crush washer! Nice video!

[@ashmeedmohammed4549]

Hey man what’s up l. Now did the swap on my FRS can you tell me what rim you using an the offset on the rim most important looking forward to your response

[@BaiMoto24]

For that wheels set up, did you need wheel spacers to clear front brembo calipers?

[@alexnguyen9826]

Hey Blake, is there any kit out there for the rear brakes as well?

[@AFWeather]

Great vid! I have all the parts to do this myself, but I am trying to find that T-Handle adapter for the threading bit. Where did you get the one you use?

[@BlakesGarage]

AFWeather I picked one up in a big tap and die set from Home Depot.

[@drewgunner14]

Wow. Awesome work man. I wanna do this to my 2017 wrx.

[@BlakesGarage]

+drewgunner14 You will love it! Such a good value for the increase in performance.

[@drewgunner14]

+Blake's Garage question did you just put sticker over the cadillac logo and replaced it with the neon brembo?

[@drewgunner14]

+Blake's Garage and now you mentioned performance, have you tested 0-60? Theres one dude here in youtube who only had about 3-4 ft difference from the stock.

[@BlakesGarage]

drewgunner14 Yes I painted the caliper black then put a Brembo sticker one that.

[@mcgarvinmathurin4352]

How would you compare these to the STI calipers? Also will this fit behind my 17” wheels?

[@NelliesPCWorkshop]

I would love to do this with my Hyundai Velsoter turbo... is it possible?

[@jhoelt2922]

Will this work on 09 subaru legacy 3.0r?

[@eilonkelty3622]

BROOOOO thank you so much!!

[@jonathantejada5838]

Did you make a follow up video on bedding in the breaks and if you gotting any squeeking after the install?

[@hainiejl]

do they have the rear calipers for the wrx too, and do these calipers clear the stock rims

[@glendonphillips6322]

Hey any recent updates on the brake swap, issues etc

[@bigbenms6]

how does this effect brake bias compared to stock?

[@juancarlosruiz1985]

Will this fit a 2010 legacy gt

[@cory5623]

Would this kit work on the 2020 wrx.

[@blakew7085]

What about the rear calipers. Did you use 2007 sti calipers?

[@Metro_Plumbing]

Will if fit with the stock 2015 wheels

[@DaytonaRoadster]

yeaaaaaah i need to do this

[@justinhagerty1007]

What soze spacer are you putting behond the rotor?
