Front Brake Pads

[GJLATZ]

Hello all,

Looking for any information on were I can buy a front set of pads for a 03 STI. Car has just been serviced by local dealer and as usual the two back shocks have been replaced again (car only done 16k).

The front pads need to be replaced aswell, however I thought approx £ 256.00 was a bit expensive from the dealer.

Any advice on where to purchase a set of pads would be greatly appreciated.

Phone AS Performance - most people on here swear by them - prices and advice spot on.  Phone Alyn (Stockton) on 01914103770.

You probably want Ferrodo DS2500 or, like mine, Pagid RS 4.2.1.  Worth every penny.

i have the EBC yellow stuff pads and they are s**t hot when up to proper temp[], not so good when cold though []

I got standard Subaru ones about 6 k ago.  Price is not much different than the EBC Red Stuff ones, and the Scooby ones give off a rediculus amount of brake dust. In hind sight I would get the EBC ones next time.

Ive just put EBC reds on mine, bit of squeal till they are bedded in but once they are good pads, will be upgrading the disc to ebc soon as the standard disk is starting to lip up fter 44k

Well my Front Drivers Caliper is seized on and the pad is almost done after only 6 months!  Got it booked in to get stripped at my mates next week and will be getting the redstuff this time!!  This car is costing me a fortune this year!!![:'(]

I have shafted every set of pads I ever owned in less than a year. Three sets including 2 Subaru sets and a set of DS2500 Ferodos (aslo a set of discs). That's what driving on the track does for you though! Right now, they are squealing, grinding and I am getting a loud WOOOO sound at low speeds that seems to be coming from the rear... others have said that these symptoms indicate "binding" what ever that is!
