Not sure if this falls into the " silly question " category or not.

On my MY04 STi i've got the usual brembo brake set up, the question i have is do i have to use brembo pads? or are there alternatives that i could use?

 

Yea there are other pads, and they will be cheaper than the Brembo pad sold by the dealers.

My personal choice for an uprated pad would be the Ferodo DS2500, an excelent pad with good "cold" bite & a good fast road pad with no squealing. These pads work very well, & if bedded properly will be a great improvement over the std brembo pad.

 

Lots of different pad options, depending on how you use the car.

I've got the same car as you mate and i use EBC yellowstuff pads.Had no prob's at all with them.

 

After speaking with graham goode, roger clark motorsport and scooby clinic i was advised by all 3 to avoid EBC pads...was recommended ferodo 2500's as mentioned higher up, but were a bit pricey...so was told next best were mintex 1155's...so thats what i had fitted (only £78 pair)...only downside is cold bite not instant (bit of waming up needed)...but once up to temp, stop well

 

ferodo are terrible for brake dust

 

Why did they say avoid them then mate,if you don't mind me asking?
