I'm beginning to see a trend developing here... Fast wheels, Falken tires and now, Ferodo brakes. I guess I need to effin' love my car.
This time around, I'm off to Swap Shop in Blainville, just north of Montreal, to see an old friend. The owner of SSi, Jean-André Brunet, is a highly skilled mechanic, fabricator and pilot that I met nearly fifteen years ago. Back then, he ran a race shop out of a Midas. These days, he's at the head of one of the best Subaru tuning outfits in Canada.
This video is the second in my series on Big Bird which chronicles the brake job that was so highly needed on my 2003 Subaru Impreza WRX wagon.
I was looking for two things when I approached André, as he is best known, and they were the following: I want to upgrade the car's braking power and I want to run my stock 16" WRX wheels over the winter months.
The answer came with one word: Ferodo. As the vast majority of Subie owners prefer to upgrade to Brembo, Ferodo turns out to be one of the few options out there for those looking for stock-sized upgraded goodness.
Note: As the car was in the shop, I noticed that the car is in need of an alignment. Damn. More money.
Next, I plan to put together some laps on a track and make a short video out of the few experiences. As well, I'll give you an update on how the Fast, Falken and Ferodo are doing.
