What is the best to fit for fast road use ?
Have upgarded the front so will the back be Ok standard if so where the cheapest place to buy them ??

Cheers.

 

I am running Pagid blues on the front and standard OE types on the rear. No complaints at all.
I got my rears same place as the front - Alyn at AS Performance for £35.
To be honest though you should be able to get them from local car spares or Halfords for about the same money.

 

I went to Halfords to get a price for rear pads for my MY97WRX, they quoted £45 and a 3 day wait, my local general parts comapny Camberly Auto Factors did the same Ferrodo pads of the shelf for £26.

 

I recently decided to uprate the rear pads because since I fitted the Godspeed 335mm disk conversion the car seemed a little unsettled under hard () braking.

So I fitted some Mintex 1144s as that is what I have at the front, the car now seems much more settled and 'sinks' rather than 'dives' when I stop hard.

As for cost, mine were £13! although they did have 300 miles on them (not that you could tell!).

[editted to say mine don't 'barke' although they do squeal a bit sometimes]
