| My 2003 OBS needs rotors, drums, pads, shoes, and possibly a caliper.
I have family members who have replaced the same on their own cars
(corolla, chrystler), will the subaru be much different? Is the ABS
sensor going to be an issue for this job?

Shouldn't.
I'd suggest not screwing around with anything but Subaru parts for the
job, though. And expect to be somewhat shocked with what they cost.
I've had 3 different sets of pads on this car, and one new set of
supposedly premium rotors, and the next thing I'll do brake wise will
be OEM all the way around.
I don't think the sensor gives any trouble at all. Least I dont'
recall it being an issue.
Best Regards,

I have had problems with front rotors on all my Subies ('93 Legacy and
'02 Outback/Impreza). And the worst was Impreza. Replaced with plain
Brembo bought on tirerack.com for something like $35 a piece. As far as
pads, I use OEM found at dealership @ $79 a pair.

I've done 3 track events with stock rotors and pads on my '06 WRX
Sportwagon. Still have (a little) pad material left. No noise, no
'judder' , no problems.
I THINK the OEM pads are ceramic?
