Just after standard pads but don't know what size I should be ordering

 

tbh for the money its worth upgrading them, ferodo ae your best bet

 

Ok, but do you know which ones to order?

 

try Scooby Clinic | The UK's Largest Independent Subaru Specialists

tbh when you order them they should be ordered for the car not size

 

Found them. My confusion was that when I was searching I was getting pads that looked like this



and pads that looked like this



The ones scoobyclinic sell are like the bottom picture (ie, Ferodo fds1333)

Ferodo Racing distributed by TECNO2

What I need are pads like the top picture I think. It appears the difference is that the top picture are Jap STi pads for years 1998-2002, whereas the bottom picture is for UK cars and WRXs 1998-2002.

Would be good if anyone that thinks I'm wrong could respond before I order

 

give em a ring mate ask, tis easiest way

 

not sure if the STi 6 has 2-pots or whether it's just the Type-R that does.

If you have 2-pot rear calipers i.e thay have Subaru clearly written on them. Then you want the top set.
If no subaru lettering it's the bottom set (single pot sliding caliper).

send Alyn (a.k.a stockcar) at AS performance a PM, he'll sort you out

 

This should help....

These are the 2-pot rear calipers :

 

Thanks for your help - much appreciated.

My rear caliper doesn't look like this at all. In fact I can actually see the pads and they look like the more rectangular pads. Oh well, I'll order them and see what happens.

 

v6 4dr STi will use the oblong pad shape..................

v6 2dr type-R will use the 2pot pad (subaru lettering on caliper) / squarer pad shape

Thanks now it really does make sense

Just got EBC Redstuff rears for £40 and fronts for £75. Seemed like a good deal.
