Brake Pads

[peter_macgowan]

Needing new front pads on the 02 WRX, Im just wondering if anyone has an opinion on the best ones to get and some prices.

Ive heard EBC Greenstuff are one of the best to get about £95.

Camsport are doing EBC red ceramic pads and turbo grooved discs, total cost £238

Ferodo DS2500's are extremely popular.

Pagid RS 4.2.1 are excellent.

Ive got red stuff pads on the front, they're crap, (brakes in my transit are better) i thought it was just the brake fluid needing changed but thats just been done and they're no better, was advised towards a mintex pad.

i've got DBA discs which seem fine

Hope this helps

I used the redstuff pads on track and they were fine, no fade at any time with crappy two pots. Made a mmess of my wheels though and after a couple of the sessions the brakes were smoking badly but no fade.

mintex or ferrodo mate,although mintex can be a bit noisy(squeel)

[dougster]

I did have Mintex 1144s before and they SQUEALED right through a 1000 mile week trip in the highlands (2 pots)

I also wasted a brand new set on the 4 pots in one 4 hour session at KH!!!!!

Ferrodo is the way to go!!!

I can't fault my Ferodo DS2500 pads on my AP's for their stopping power.

Only one problem with them....loads of brake dust. Easily cleaned off though.

Ceramic pads squeal like a mofo.

[peter_macgowan]

Looks like Ferodo's are a popular choice, thanks. Off to get a price now

I have DS2500's, a bit dusty and squeaky in reverse, but still recommended.

[dougster]

One has never reversed around Knockhill therefore one could not possibly comment!!!

Hello mate, I would go for mintex evolution, they are new out and the next generation in braking technology. IMHO they are fantastic. If you are unsure about all the advice call John at EARS in Macclesfield. EARS stands for Escort and Rally Service. They have forgotten more about brakes than we will ever know. He advised me and Im glad I called him.

Got DS2500 on mine and I know that Pagid are prolly slightly better overall, wichever you choose Id say your gonna be cleaning your wheels more often ......these bad boys are dusty. Look to pay around £115-125 inc delivery +VAT etc
