The link to the Brake Pads can be found below.

You’re about one of the few videos that finally mention how they compressed the pistons back in. Thank you!
Been wrenching on my subies for 15 years. My 2017 STI finally needed pads. I have the manual but I also watched your video as a primer. My Legacy GT isn't bad either, but I love the way the pads come out through the top of the caliper on the Brembos. I prefer Hawk pads over Stoptech. Anyway, great video really appreciate it. 15 minutes per wheel and part of that was cleaning up the caliper. Very helpful. Thank you again.
Why do you prefer Hawk over Stoptech brake pads?.
literally the best how to for brembo brake pads.
This is the brembo brake pad exchange video I needed. Thank you.
Love the feeling of new brakes! Great video!
An oldie, but a goodie
🤝🤝🤝
I know it’s a old video but it’s very helpful I’m Changing pads for the first time on my Subie, it Doesn’t look difficult but
I’ve never done it ether So I’ll see how it goes.
Really not too bad to do, if your reusing the hardware just make sure to clean them with brake clean 🙏😁
Great video. Straight and to the point. What size punch to knock those pins out? I need to buy it and I want to make sure I get the right one. Thanks in advance.
I just found your channel bro, so glad I did! gonna start working on my subie.. your channel has done wonders ,thanks for the content! you got a new subscriber!
Eyyyy appreciate the support my friend and always here for questions 🔥
Can u do a tutorial on how to adjust the handbrake/E-brake? I have a 2021 STI. Im hoping that the procedure is the same as your STI. Thanks.
this car had no idea what was coming lol
How do you make sure they're still pressure in the brake fluid after changing the brakes, I followed this guide but now have no pressure when I press the pedal
So thanks for this, about to do my FHI's and was suddenly 🤔🤔 about compressing the piston.
But man, sorry if it is linked, but do you know anything about the artist who does the song in your video? 😅
It's basically the same thing with the 4 piston brembos? Have a 2020 perf pack and want to change my brakes
Correct, pretty much same same 🙏
hey man, I have The Subaru performance shop M45 that built my motor. or telling me I need to do the rotors and the brake pads for some reason ,yet they haven't even looked at my brakes to diagnose which ones are squeaky. every how-to tutorial I've seen on the STI brembros Don't talk about the rotor having to be changed also. what are your thoughts on that? I was looking to just do the pads myself and didn't want to worry about rotors but what are your thoughts on just doing pads and not rotors. My rotors aren't warped or anything like that. so idk why they are trying to get me to do all that. maybe so they can charge me for more labor hours
Can I not put the shims in and be ok, or is that absolutely necessary? Bought brembos and they came without them, thanks!
I would reuse the old ones 🙏
Do you have to change the spring clips and pins when changing brakes I always wondered about that?? Every car I do brakes on I change everything but not sure bout the brembos if I could reuse the pins and clips or not. Any info is great im changing rotors and pads and lines should I just go ahead and change the spring clips pins and retaining clips
No you do not I always just clean mine and reuse them 🔥
I just put some aftermarket brake pads as well but I hear a small knock when I’m barely moving and I press the brakes, any ideas what it could be? I also upgraded the rotors to some DBA 4000, do I need to upgrade the pins that holds the brakes for different ones?? Brake pads are the same exact size as the OEM
Have you already bedded the new pads to the new rotors?
@@Smeedia i didn’t do that but I drove the car for like a day, it does brake really good but it kept doing the noise at low speeds the next day, if I go over 10mph it doesn’t make the sound any more, it only does it when going like 5mph and I hit the brakes
So would you buy brembo pads or stay with stop tech or go with something different
What brand stainless steel brake lines do you suggest for 2019 STI's?
Does this tutorial on changing brake pads apply to a 2021 wrx sti?
Great video thanks for the tip, but I'd recommend to cut the music when talking
This was a suuuuuper old video when I was still figuring out how to edit and learn what to do so thr music has definitely cooled down since. But appreciate the feedback and glad the video helped! 😁🔥
Yeah my first change from factory
So the rear calipers don’t need to be twisted in? Same as the fronts?
Great video I am getting rotors and pads soon I am on 30k miles with the stock pads 😳
I need to do rotors, I have been putting it off, the bolts that hold the caliper to the knuckles are notorious for snapping >.
Smeedia greatttt lol
@@JotaJotaSTI lol its annoying, its happened on every STI I have owned. Had to use Kincerts to fix them all last time.
what jacking point are you using by the front?
The jack point un the under panel. It's a protective plate that covers the power steering rack
What’s up! Never changed my own pads on my 2017 sti. Did you need to bleed the brakes after this video? Is that necessary when just changing pads?
Nope, not necessary. You only need to bleed when air is introduced to the system.
Funny this popped up as suggested for me today
Doing some brakes? 👀👀👀
@@Smeedia nope just youtube wanting me to see your hat lol
Beginner with all this but trying to DIY as much as I can. Is it a must to bleed at pad change? And your go to are those stop tech pads?
Yessir, stop tech has always been a solid and as for bleeding, if you don't open the system there is no need
Is it really necessary to take the cap off your brake reservoir? I have in the past and when you compress the pistons in the calipers you get a little overflow of brake fluid out the top of the reservoir. I’d prefer to leave the cap on but not sure. Thanks
I've over pressurized the master cylinder before and blew the cap off lol ever since then I crack it open but you don't have too
Do I have to use brake grease? I have to replace my pads this week.
You don't have to bud most pads will come with the grease 🤙
Do you need to resurface new rotors when replacing?
Not all the time, a good way to tell is to feel if there is a large lip on the edge of the rotor
@@Smeedia awesome. thanks! My 16 is at 49k (picked up at 38k). Looking to do brakes soon, spark plugs and all fluids.
Awesome content, now I have confidence in doing it. Also using your links as well!
Also, I didn't see a video but it would be awesome to see how a AOS is installed! or at least a video explaining how it would be.
Ordered the KARTBOY Short throw shifter
I've got a video showing how to install the IAG AOS 😁
@@Smeedia awesome! I guess my computer lagged cause it froze when I typed it in. I'll check it out, thanks!
Hey brother I’m having a hard time finding oem front rotors have any leads? Also brake pads i have a 2018 sti base model
They are the same as the Lexus ISF so if you can find a set for that you should be good. As for OEM Subaru only place I've seen is IIR and Subaru 🙏🙏
@@Smeedia thank you i tried IIR and they had two and put the order in now they are saying they are not available and won’t be till mid September
Also Subaru is 439 for a single rotor
Hot damn 😳😳😳 stop tech makes a good replacement that's fairly affordable from what I've seen. I think Rallysport stocks them
Is this Blue?
Yes 😅
@@Smeedia Amazing. Very inspiring to see the beginnings.
Did you not transfer the shim plates?
Used new ones for these brakes
What size is that hole punch?
I wanna say it was 1/8th" don't remember off the top of my head
@@Smeedia I comment so many questions, sorry for Bugging so much but your DIY videos help me so much and save me so much money. Just ordered the same brakes and all the tools so I can do my own stuff and save money
Haha it's all good my dude 🙌 glad the videos are helping 🔥😁
Nice video. But, man that background music needs to be toned down a LOT. It's really distracting and hard to hear you throughout the video.
This was when I first started to learn to edit, 100% agree and toned down a lot from this 🙏
@@Smeedia fair enough, growing pains. we all experience them. great content and keep it up. I especially love your Blobeye STi content. I have a 2004 STi with 39k original miles on it. 1 owner too.
39K miles?! That thing is a unicorn! 😍
Wiping your gloves on the brake pad with grease then not changing gloves? Come on now.
Use the proper tools when compressing the brake piston, not the way you used the brake pad. You could damage the rotor in the process.
Also DO NOT INSTALL THE BRAKE PADS BACKWARDS OR WITH THE BACK PLATE FACING THE ROTOR. YOU WILL DESTROY THE ROTOR AND POSSIBLY DAMAGE THE caliper. (pro tip, Tanner did that exact scenario to my corvette a few years back.)
Tanner, I told you I'd critique the crap out of the video 😂😂
No issues with using your same gloves, I also swap to amicrofiber when applying 😉
The rotor takes more harsh road conditions than being pushed on a little bit lol that entire one I was like "When Chris sees this...." lol 🤣
