In 11 years of Subaru ownership...Impreza Turbo, Forester Turbo Sport and currently 002 WRX... I've had my first real problem...which is also puzzling the hell out of me. Both rear rotors have cracked...fine lines from the hubs out both sides.
26K on the clock, front rotors and pads replaced at 22.5K and no more than normal abuse for a WRX and probably less as I'm doing mainly commuter trips in 30 & 40 limits. The only smokin' stop was when I bedded in the new front brakes and really only quite sedate motoring since then. I've never had such a problem on any car before. Not covered under warranty (10K miles max claims allowed) and I'm not bitching about that but why the hell have they failed? They show very little wear as would be expected. Informed opinions welcomed (but that does not include that Dr Rastus whatever idiot) TIA-- Clive Norris Selectron (UK) Ltd Musical Equipment Distribution
