But, it claims can clear BBK ... is that due to spoke design ? Yes, it’s due to the spoke design and thinness. STi rims can fit STi Brembo BBK but not necessarily other brands of BBK.

Mine is +48 still can clear some 6 pot caliper. Personally, I think STi rims are quite overpriced. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sunshines11 1st Gear July 27, 2020 Share July 27, 2020 Hi all... I have been having prob in depressing the brake when I need to step on it to start the engine... I have to keep stepping on it harder than usual quite a few times before I manage to start e engine... The brakes work normally once I manage to start e engine... May I know if anyone experience this in their car too? My car ride is just over 3 years, wonder if Subaru will be willing to fix it for free... Thank you so much in advance! 🙂 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thank you so much in advance! 🙂 Hi, I has tht issue too. last did was replace new vacuum hose, if solve for a few days and back again. I believe tht cause by micro leak in booster, brake get hard after about 5 hrs cause by leaking vacuum inside holding booster. After engine starts everything back to normal (because the vacuum build up again) My leakage period was 12 hrs before and now clock 5 hrs, a few Subies bros here has tht issue too., I´m sure is Mfg defect not sure if they had solved. not sure if MI could fix it, equires booster abt $500, this time I left it tht way. Post here if has improvement after MI svs. Drive Safe. 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Planning to bring it down to BKS to have a check soon. I just got this problem sorted out by mi. They changed out the brake booster. My ride was over 3 years and mi still honor the warranty when I stated the delay was due to cb and trouble getting appointment with mi. Since Ken and Sunshine's ride is around 3 years, I suggest you go to mi instead. However, you need to leave your car overnight even when mine hardens a couple of hours after parking. 2 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yup Bro, that should be the first attempt , I did with sealing casket and replace with new stainless rings. ( you solved yours with our last discussion) leakage after 2 weeks, so suspecting the check valve inside the vaccum hose ( abt. $40 from MI), actually check valve leakage known to be slim. Sunshine and Kenz can tried as recommendation OAT first, it easier. OAT gave me head-up on the sealing that I not did after new hose replacement, will seal and test again. Cheer and safe drive.

Sunshines11 1st Gear August 7, 2020 Share August 7, 2020 Hihi... I managed to bring my car down to MI and they replaced the brake booster out of goodwill for free... My warranty has just expired and they are still willing to honour the warranty... I am not sure if it’s because we have been bringing back our car back for servicing for the 1st 3 years... Thks all for the sharing esp Stratovarius! 🙂 2 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
