Prodrive 330mm Brake issues??
Hi I have a 2001 WRX Bugeye Wagon. It has PPP and also the Prodrive 330mm brake upgrade on the front.
I have had the car about 2 years and for the duration of it's life it has had noisey brakes. I have had them checked a couple of times and no one has found fault with them but the noise prevails and is pretty irritating. It is kind of a grinding noise at lower speeds with a bit of a squeak to.
I have read somewhere that the pads could be 'too aggressive' and to be honest I do get a lot of brake dust on the front wheels in between washes. I havent done track days and dont drive it very hard. Neither the did the previous owner.
On a side note but may be related I am not that impressed by the braking performance either. I haven't driven one without the prodrive brakes on it but the stopping power doesn't 'wow me' and never has. I thought they would be better...
Can anyone suggest what the noise might be or some things to check for myself as garages haven't been that helpful so far?
Cheers!
