Forester XT Brembo Upgrade!

Earlier in the month Meng had us install his Zero/Sports sway bars (above). With the upgraded power and cornering capabilities of this Forester XT, Meng felt that he should also step up his braking power.

He arrived at EAT with a complete Brembo front and rear brake kit. Not only are the rotors bigger but the rear calipers now get two pistons per corner while the front gets four per corner. He also upgraded his master cylinder to the STI unit and reinforced it with the Cusco Master Cylinder Brace.


To dress up his engine bay, Meng had us install the Zero/Sports intake pipe and Zero/Sports 1.3 radiator caps.

30k + Zero/Sports Intake

James stopped by for his 30k service. We saw this as an opportunity to replace all his factory Subaru fluids with Motul synthetic fluids. This consisted of Engine oil, Transmission, Rear Differential, Coolant and Brake Fluids. While flushing everything out, we also replaced the cabin filter which, as you can see, was put to really good use.



James also wanted to upgrade his intake so we recommended the Zero/Sports air intake kit.

07 Forester gets Zero/Sports sway bar treatment

Meng recently stopped by with his 07 Forester. With his second kid on the way in less than a month, he wanted to get his last minute mods done and out of the way.

Meng likes performance without sacrificing drivability and comfort. When he visited us two weeks ago, he had asked us to install his front Perrin sway bar to match his already installed rear sway. After the install, both he and his wife noticed an increase in clunking noise and a decrease in ride quality.



We recommended that he replace the Perrin bars with the Zero/Sports units for superior quality and hollow design. The Zero/Sports sway bars weigh a mere 4lbs vs the Perrin 14lbs.



Zero/Sports Sway Bars will drastically reduce body roll without decreasing ride comfort.

The Zero/Sports Sway Bars feature a unique lightweight tubular design. The hollow tube design gives the bars a stiffer response to twisting forces than a similar solid sway bar. These easy to install sway bars will improve handling, steering wheel response, and will reduce your cars natural tendency to under steer in corners.
If you use a solid core structure stabilizer, we insist you try our product, you will definitely feel the difference!

For maximum performance, we suggest using the front and rear as a set!
