Has anybody tried the WRX ABS "recall"? I have the paperwork but am curious what the real difference is. So far the techs I have talked to have not been able...
I'm going to do it next week. I hope they fix it. When it happens, it's quite alarming. I've narrowly missed accidents because of those brakes on rough...
Most non-Subaru owners, even performance-car enthusiasts, think this ABS issue on Subarus is all a bunch of bunk, like the "unintended acceleration" issue of...
Actually, with ~80,000 miles of highway driving, city driving, LOTS of Autocross, and LOTS of light Rally use using the -stock- brakes and braking system I...
Oh, yea, I say "old" because I don't own the RS anymore :) The ABS problem is a pretty serious one. Like I said, it seems to only happen at low speeds, maybe...
I've definitely never experienced that in my 2001 Subie 2.5RS before. I wonder which part, parts, particular run, etc. of Subaru are affected by that problem? ...
I just experienced this on my 04 WRX.... I was up north hunting and was slowing down on a bumpy asphalt road where only the right side had bumps... The ABS...
I also experienced this on my 02 WRX. The second time was enough to get me pulling the fuse. In my 05 Legacy, I have not noticed it at all. ... [Non-text...
While I believe it is indeed an issue, I only had this experience 2 times, that I can recall, on my '00 RS. There has to be a varying degree of sensitivity...
Bryan, You've described this problem very well. Athough, I think it's happened to me on my 2002 WRX at higher than 10mph rates of speed. Typically, this...
Larry, The experience that you had with snow conditions with your RS is not the same thing (although they could be related) that we're talking about with the...
Hal, Granted, it doesn't sound at all the same. I guess I just felt that it was unlikely to be completely unrelated (being a problem with the ABS). Sorry to ...
The last I heard, Todd was at Dave Steffen's in Northeast. My roommates take their car there based on that, but I haven't seen him since the summer....
Yeah, the ABS was pretty bad in the winter with all-season's on my Subie. I upgraded to real winter tires (Nokian Hakkapeliitta RSi) and have never again felt...
The RE92s are a whole 'nother story. I tossed them almost immediately for some Yokohama snow tires. By no means Hakkas, but real snow tires as opposed to ...
I stopped at Dave Steffan's about a month ago, to see if Todd could take a look at my WRX. I was informed by the guy behind the counter that Todd was only...
Bingo. You described exactly the situations where I've experienced the problem, and exactly like you, when I moved up to 17" wheels and some seriously sticky...
The RE92's were downright dangerous in the snow, regardless of what car you were driving. I was driving at a constant speed on a straight flat road that had...
The best high performance "all season" (summer only really) tires I have ever purchased have been the Bridgestone Potenza RE950's. You will get a lot of...
No trips whatsoever, just 17,000 miles/year of adventurous commuting on roads of the least traffic available. These include regular pushes of the tires to...
No huge comparisons, but I have been VERY happy with my GS-D3's for the last two summers...that is after three summers with Pirelli P-Zeros (came on the 18" OZ...
Hal, Anything else about the differences pre- and post-recall? When you say it changes the sensation of the brake pedal, is that in everyday use, or when the...
The tires I am considering for next summer, after watching them in use all year in Autocross, are the new Falken Azeni's. There are a lot of great summer only...
The sensation difference is only when the ABS is activated. Instead of the total loss of all braking feel, the pedal stays firm, with maybe a slight pedal...
I do not have anything to compare these to, but I have a pair of Falken GRB FK-451 <http://www.falkentire.com/tires_451.htm>. They have very good grip in dry...
