Just picked up a 2011 WRX hatch. I noticed the pedals being too slippery almost right away. Figured I just got oil on them from walking around in the dealership

I suppose you could also place some non-slip adhesive strips (the ones they use on exterior stairs), or find some aftermarket stainless steel pedals that have rubber protruding out of the holes.

My brakes are really squeaky just as I'm coming to a stop. Started noticing this after I washed the car three days ago. Doesn't seem to change even after a few applications of the brakes...have you guys noticed this too?

Do WRX and STi have the same Brembo(?) brakes? I've heard Brembo brakes can be noisy in different makes and models. Perhaps I need to put some high temp grease on the backs of the brake pads.

yah the stock pads on my G35C's brembo's were very squeeeeky at low speed/light brake application. Endless pads + BrakeQuiet fixed it permanently.
i'd remove the pads and put some brakequiet on there for starters.... if that fails, try other pads (or get it replaced under warranty). |

nothing, just another day of typical daily driver ownership. i need to claybar already to get a bunch of trapped dirt out of the paint.
and i got a rock chip on the front that punched two pieces of paint off. meh. i'm going to clearbra it this upcoming weekend and protect it from any further damage. i might swing by a dealership and grab some touchup paint.

Always a good idea. I went 24" up the hood to include the hood scoop and quarter panels, full front bumper, and mirrors.
