what is the point of the sleeper look with a BBK. do you really want to surprise a WRX with your ability to brake...lol...this is light hearted so don't take offense. Just curious

Well ever try to stop a 300+ HP motor using 9" brakes? If I had to switch wheels to some sort of aftermarket wheels I wouldn't have upgraded the brakes
My car looks entirely stock from the outside and like what people tell ugly chicks its the inside that matters

Did you also swap the master cylinder in?
The stock 7/8 master may not move enough fluid to use the full potential of the brake upgrade, but it isn't strictly needed.
You get a softer pedal than with the 1" one is the most noticeable side effect.
If you want to use dust sheilds, the santa fe ones from 2004 should work.

faith, how did your pedal feel, normal ? or did it have more travel than "normal"
yea, the pedal is super soft, and long travel. its bites hard in the middle of the pedal stroke. what MC should i put in? would a spectra MC fit?
