    Description

    In 2001, the bug-eyed Impreza WRX was finally launched in North America, and enthusiasts scrambled to get their hands on the first of Japan's modern rally specials. Subaru's loyal follwers were rewarded for their patience in 2004, as the heavily reworked 2.5L WRX STI came screaming onto the scene in answer to Mitsubishi's launch of the Evo VIII.

    If you're reading this, I don't have to go into too many details about how capable the STI is. At 3300-3400 lbs. these cars are no lightweights. Even more importantly, it's fairly cheap and easy to increase the power to silly levels, and you can cram a decent amount of tire under the fender flares. Uber fast, check...big power, check...meaty tires, check...What does all of that mean? It's not exactly easy on brakes!

    To combat the tortures Subaru expected from its new owners, they equipped the car with a fairly nice brake system from the factory. The STI features 325x30mm brake discs with four piston Brembo calipers up front, and two piston Brembo's in the rear. While it's true that the Brembo system on the STI is far superior to what most production cars come with (particularly in the price range), there are some fundamental differences that set the system apart from a true race-ready system.

    AP Racing's Heavy Duty J Hook Racing Discs were specifically designed to handle racetrack abuse. These are the same discs used on the fastest cars at the elite level of motorsports, including ALMS, NASCAR Sprint Cup, etc. They provide increased cooling, less judder, fewer cracks, and an increased service life vs. competing discs. When you run an AP disc, you can be confident that you're using the best parts available at any price point.

    Most aftermarket discs have 30 to 48 vanes. Many times those vanes are straight, or non-directional, with a sub-optimal amount of space between disc faces. After extensive CFD and thermal stress analysis, AP designed the Heavy Duty J Hook with 70 vanes and a wide 16.5mm air gap to increase airspeed and heat transfer, while reducing deflection and remaining reasonably lightweight.

    The increased directional vane count on the J Hook Heavy Duty Disc amplifies air speed through the disc, reduces air recirculation between vents, and also increases convective heat transfer and heat distribution. In other words, both air and heat move more quickly and evenly through the disc, creating increased stability under the extreme loads of racetrack use. The disc is less prone to coning, distortion, and cracking, while providing cooler running temperatures, less brake fade, reduced judder, and a longer service life.

    Stainless Steel Lines

    Stated simply, some of the automotive brake lines currently on the market are downright frightening. Looking at the fitting and assembly quality makes you wonder where the parts came from, and who put them together. Low grade carbon steel fittings, sloppy stainless weave, no abrasion coatings, substandard linings…the list goes on. When you consider that your brake lines are the critical safety link between your foot and your calipers, these facts aren’t exactly comforting. Not only are some of these parts suspect, it can take forever to actually receive them after placing an order.

    Spiegler does things a little differently. While you may not be familiar with the Spiegler name, they’ve been a trusted producer of stainless steel brake lines in the motorcycle racing industry for some time. Every component in a Spiegler brake line is manufactured to exacting standards in the USA or Western Europe, and these premium components are then hand assembled and tested at Spiegler’s facilities in Dayton, Ohio. You can buy Spiegler Stainless Steel Brake Lines with confidence, knowing that you’ll be receiving the finest product available for your car.
