It’s called not riding your brakes and learning to downshift. I learned that with about a week of driving my sti. Keep in mind I have about 20 mins in a stick prior to owning this car. It’s a fantastic car if you treat her right.
Thats true but gotta make the tittle interesting lol ima upgrade them tho if i decide to track it but it will just be for fun and the experience lol not breaking any records

I hear a lot of complaints from other STI owners about the break dust, but listen up I’m running Torque Solutions 25mm spacers all around the four stock tires and rims, the break dust has tremendously disappeared. With the gap between the back of the rim and caliper the dust does not build as fast. HUGE DIFFERENCE FROM CLEANING TIRES ONCE A WEEK TO ONCE A MONTH!
@@erickhuizar9532 none, the stock suspension of the STI is stiff enough to not rub. If you’re driving mainly streets you’ll be fine. Now going off road or jumping railroad tracks then they might ha!
Spacers are beyond retarded. They’re illegal where I’m from for a reason. They also don’t ‘look good’ or make a car ‘look better’, they look freakin stupid and are unsafe.
Why r u c/o brake dust? You can put whatever pads you want onto the car. I don't understand why some people complain about things that are so trivial or easy to customize/fix.
It’s not a bug, it’s a feature! The reason for the brake dust is because it’s a metallic pad. Those pads are quieter, last longer than ceramic in normal driving conditions, and better in wet conditions. Sooo yeah. It’s an intentional decision on Subarus behalf. BMW uses the same kind of pad. If the brake dust bothers you, you can change it to ceramic pads.
It’s the rotors the little holes cause the the pads to wear like that and cause the brake dust. Slotted rotors are the way to go if you want to reduce the brake dust…give it try
@@VelosterRally16_UV this guy is giving you incorrect info. Slotted rotors are designed to keep the pads from glazing by shaving layers of pad off from overheating. Inwhich cause more brake dust than normal. Crossed drilled rotors are for more air flow which increases cooling. The dust is coming from the soft performance pads.
This is so click bait "already broken?" Come on dude. That's why your like 👍🏼 dislike 👎🏼 is about the same. Keep it honest bc this kinda pissed me off.
Had a brand new stock 16 Hikari STI. At 106k I started getting a misfire in cylinder 2 after taking it into the shop here’s what they found… ”Cylinder 2 has 34% leakdown past the piston rings. There is mild leakage past the exhaust valves that will need to be investigated at the machine shop to determine if there are further damage to the heads. We checked cylinder 4 next door for comparative data and there is only 6% leakdown on that cylinder which is healthy. There is active misfire on cylinder 2 from the compression loss as seen in the scanning equipment. At this point, the short block will need to be replaced and heads will need to be assessed when off” Decided to take it back to the dealership and after a long battle they honored the repairs under a good will warranty being that all my services were done at the dealership from day 1, car was stock and that I was only 6k over my 100k warranty. Fast forward to 134k and a year later… driving on the highway and I had a complete engine failure. Lost my power, steering and electronics. Had to coast it over to a safe spot. Once I was able to get it turned back on, I noticed the dreaded engine knock sound. Once again my car was still stock… took it into the dealership and turns out they recalled my engine so subaru covered the cost of reman long block. I would never buy another STI again. Who ever is thinking of an STI, buy a different car, while I loved mine, it’s not worth the troubles that everyone seems to face after 100,000 kms.
@ultrashady I’m selling mine! I have the same AWE track catback with black diamond tips. I traded a 2020 STi base in WRB for a 2021 STI Limited in Crystal White.
Hey broski I just bought a 2017 wrx sti. And I got the code P000D which means B camshaft position slow response bank 2. Some of my friends say your car is now a lost cause. Any idea if they are right
I thought this video was a mechanical failure or something serious. Dusty wheels from performance [Brembo] brakes comes with the territory of owning an STI.
dusty brakes are a common thing any way; maybe a bit less these days, but if you look at cars that don't get cleaned, there is always brake dust on the wheels and calipers; they are brakes, a friction material against a friction surface to expend your kinetic energy into heat to help you stop. The shit is going to shed some material over time, there is absolutely no way around it.
deciding between getting a 21 sti, or waiting for the 22 golf r. coming from 21 outback xt but i got tboned and the car is totaled. so now its time to get something fun
I would definitely wait for the 22 R to come out and see what its all about if you really are considering between the two. The STI is an amazing and fun car but the last thing you want is to get it and once the R is out and you see it to start doubting your decision because then you wont even enjoy the STI anymore 🤷🏻♂️
@@VelosterRally16_UV yeah. I’d like to but being without a car for 5-6 months minimum just isn’t in the cards for me. I was looking at a 19 golf r with 4K miles. Tuned stage 1 apr. but they’re asking 42k for it. Would you go 21 Sti, or 19 golf r?
@@thebarbermitch Just my idea, definitely the STI. It’s handling and confidence it has, along with the way it rewards you for driving properly, love it
I picked this one because it just felt more my style now , its a four door and more spacious. Im also over front wheel cars and all that tire hopping lol ive seen reviews of the Elantra N and its looks sick as well as it wasn’t our yet but if i had to pick again i might go for the Elantra N
Brake dust. Must be your first time with performance brakes. My GT350 had a lot and my Sti is no different. Also the fire department does not change the light and neither do cops. Lmaoo
My son got problems with 2020 sti and squeaky noise ,scratching discs we taking 6 times to the dealer and they never fix the problem we turned in because of that.

It's not broken, that's just what track pads do. That and squeak. But they will work from 140 to 0 repeatably.

Im scared of spacers lol seems sketchy even tho im sure they are safe lol
Any rubbing with those size spacers? I’ve been looking to get some
@@erickhuizar9532 none, the stock suspension of the STI is stiff enough to not rub. If you’re driving mainly streets you’ll be fine. Now going off road or jumping railroad tracks then they might ha!
Spacers are for folks who care more about looks than performance. Spacers eat wheel bearings. Fact
Spacers are beyond retarded. They’re illegal where I’m from for a reason. They also don’t ‘look good’ or make a car ‘look better’, they look freakin stupid and are unsafe.
so cleaning brake dust is an issue now? xd
hahaha dead. better sell the car cause you have to clean the wheels a tad bit longer.

Coming in with the knowledge bro appreciate it 🤙🏽 that will definitely be one of the first upgrades then
Also with the slotted rotors go for the ceramic break pads by brembo.

All this info is pushing me away from the sti
@@boostedrex9460 I know it’s sad. I cherish the memories though!
Sti's are just unreliable because of that engine
It's not that abnormal to have the dust on this size of brakes... 6pot brembos are big! Ceramic coat so it's easier to clean... best you can do.
Had to drop the thumb on this click bait my dude.
Same issue hey quick question do you turn off your car right away after you park or you wait for a couple of minutes to cooldown the oil?
If ive been driving hard i do let it cool down a second before i turn it off also helps the turbo chill but for regular driving nah
Clickbait BS
It’s Normal performance pads do this
Sounds good. What exhaust?
Thank you , i have the track edition AWE with black tips 🤙🏽
@@VelosterRally16_UV Nice! I had them too on my previous STi. Loud and really opens it up.

How does that work out for you?
Yooo is this palm desert?
Yes sir lol
Brake dust. Must be your first time with performance brakes. My GT350 had a lot and my Sti is no different. Also the fire department does not change the light and neither do cops. Lmaoo
Must be the first set of Brembos for you. It's what they do
Loved the driving but think you just lost a lot cred with the clickbait
Great Video,I have new design fast charging 20000mah power bank built in multi cables ,could you help do a video?
I was embarrassed to watch this
same here, brake dust smh
What muffler u got?
AWE Track Edition catback system 🤙🏽
6pot brembo's.... they do that. heck I think the regular wrx pads do that also.
Gapplebees!! 😂🤣😭👌💯
I had to lol 😂
Get over it, it’s Subaru.
pretty sure they meant ceramic brake pads
I use dba pats no problem
My son got problems with 2020 sti and squeaky noise ,scratching discs we taking 6 times to the dealer and they never fix the problem we turned in because of that.
Get ceramic break pads
wow..
This car so bad he never came back
