Hi all,
Have just had a disc and pad upgrade fitted this morning to my uk 2001 wrx,
Have gone for TAR.OX Japan Sport disc ands Mintex pads.
Didn't go for EBC has have heard too many reports of warping and other problems.
Just wondered how people cope with bedding in and did anyone else have problems squeling etc.
Standard disc and pads were warped after 20,000m, and I've had car for 7,000m and they lost there breaking capablites quickly with some stick. So have upgraded, was this a wise choice for the small cost(Tarox and mintex), will they be strong when bedded? Still haven't gone above 30mph today, so will the noise's go a light grinding and squelling noise?
How much are braided hose's and upgrade brake fluid?
Sorry for novel but I cane brakes, and you never can be too safe, before engine upgrades.

Not a bad set up, gently bed them in for a few hundred miles, ie no major aggressive stops and late breaking

If you're a heavy breaker hopefully the pads are Mintex 1155's, though the harder the compound the more prone your discs will be to warp.
At least they are grooved only as cross drilled discs can crack.

Pads wise my first choice would be Ferodo DS2500 or Pagid 4.2-1's Black.
