To go along with our new addition of the SMY-Clustermaker gauge pods we have added Prosport Gauges to our line-up of vehicle monitoring solutions. Prosport offers some unique gauges which seem to really suit what many Subaru owners are looking for. The main one being a fairly good match of the gauge back-lighting to the stock cluster back-lighting. They also offer gauges at price points not available from some of the other lines we offer such as Defi and STRI.

As part of our introduction to the line we are going to offer a sale for the next week and a half on the entire Prosport product line-up. If there is anything you're looking for from them just send us a quick PM or Email and we can provide you with pricing. Upon the close of the sale we will place the order and we should see it within a week or so.

We're going to start a new thing here at Touge Tuning by featuring some of the products we carry as a way to provide our customers with information on products they may not be aware of.

We decided to start off with the Turn in Concepts Transmission Crossmember Bushings. There are a few different brands of this product but the TiC version is unique in that it fits together like puzzle pieces for installation which means you don't have to cut off anything from the bushings from installation and they fit right into place. These bushings replace some extremely soft rubber bushings in the transmission crossmember and offer a significant reduction in drivetrain "slop". By reducing the amount of "slop" you will have a more direct feel with the drivetrain and there will be less movement under acceleration and deceleration. You may notice a slight increase in NVH but it is very minor and the benefits of these bushings far outweight the small con. The set contains 4 bushings (2 pairs) and now also includes a 5th bushing as newer 2008+ Impreza/WRX/STi's and 2005-2009 Legacy's have 1 bushing stock which is slightly thicker than the other. The bushings are made of a fairly stiff polyurethane in a bright cherry blossom red colour. These are highly recommended to do in combination with the Group N transmission Mount and while you're down there it is very easy to throw in the shifter bushings we also offer.

We had the pleasure of working with NOS Energy Drink Canada last year on an interesting project which i'm sure many of you saw.  NOS has graciously provided us with a supply of their Energy Drinks to provide fuel to finish off those "30 minute" installs that end up taking 3 hours.  So next time you stop by to pick something up at our store feel free to grab a can or bottle to take home with you.  We hope to get NOS Energy Drink Canada further involved with Touge Tuning and TSC in the future with events and at the track.

After spending countless hours adding an abundance of braking options to our web store I wanted to give a bit of information regarding what we have to offer. We feel that the offerings we have cover the entire spectrum of needs for braking. We have everything from OE replacement pads and rotors up to full on Race Pads, 2-Piece Rotors and Big Brake Kits. If you are unsure of the correct products for your needs and application just send us an email, message or give us a call and we can direct you to the right products.

Brake Pads

Hawk Performance: Hawk Performance is one of the leading US manufacturers of aftermarket brake pads. They have one of the most complete lineup of pad compounds, pad shapes and offer support for many racing sanctions. We have been offering Hawk Performance for many years now and currently use their HPS pads on our daily driven Legacy 2.5GT.
StopTech: StopTech is best known for their high quality Big Brake Kits but they have recently taken the compound of the pads included with the BBK and manufactured OEM Pad shapes. This has brought a new low cost option into the brake pad market and they have been extremely popular.
Ferodo: Ferodo is a top manufacturer of track and racing compound brake pads. While they don't offer a street compound friction material, the DS2500 is considered one of the best double duty pads on the market. Whether your doing endurance racing or time attack, Ferodo has the right compound for you.
CL Brakes: CL Brakes, formerly known as Carbone Lorraine, is new in the North American automotive friction material market. Although they are not as well known they have made a splash with their sintered compounds for track day, racing and endurance applications. Some of the main features of the CL sintered pads are incredible cold bite, nearly impossible to fade, little to no bed-in required and they retain their bite in adverse weather conditions.

Street Compounds
-Hawk Performance Ceramic - Best for Long Term Daily Street Usage - Performance Ceramic is engineered to reduce brake NVH (Noise, Vibration and Harshness), creating a quieter performing brake pad. Furthermore, the ceramic brake pad formula has a linear friction profile that allows your ABS brake system to work more effectively. With Performance Ceramic you can expect reduced brake pad wear, lower dust output levels and a rotor-friendly brake pad.
-Hawk HPS (High Performance Street) - Increased Stopping Power for the Street - The High Performance Street compound offers a higher coefficient of friction over stock brake pads and can provide you 20-40% more stopping power and higher resistance to brake fade than most standard replacement pads. Less fade means you will have a highly durable brake pad with less brake dust.
-Hawk HP Plus - AutoCross and Light Track Duty - HP Plus utilizes a unique Ferro-Carbon, high-tech friction material that was developed and manufactured for sport driving in autocross, Solo II and “track day” applications. The Ferro-Carbon formulation offers lower wear rates and higher torque values than other competitive materials. The HP+ does increase noise and dust quite a bit over stock, not recommended for daily use.
-StopTech Street Performance - Similar to HPS but with better initial bite - topTech Street Performance brake Pads are engineered to meet the demands of high performance driving while maintaining the refinement and comfort expected in everyday driving conditions. StopTech brake pads combine the benefits of premium street brake pads with aggressive friction formulas suitable for light track day and autocross use. Para-aramid composites are specially formulated to provide linear response at both cold and hot temperatures, delivering optimum stopping performance over a wide range of driving conditions.
-StopTech Posi-Quiet Semi-Metallic - Ultra Low Dust Semi-Metallic Street Pad - Available for most European models, PosiQuiet Semi Metallic pads offer bite levels similar to or greater than OEM formulas with reduced levels of noise and dust. Well suited to performance street driving under all weather conditions.
-StopTech Posi-Quiet Ceramic - Slightly more bite than semi-metallic but low dust - Available for most Japanese and domestic models, PosiQuiet Ceramic pads offer bite levels similar to or greater than OEM formulas with reduced levels of noise and dust. Well suited to performance street driving under all weather conditions.
