Em for you I'm confident they will be fine. In fact why not go for Subaru OE stuff?

You don't do a lot of high speed breaking/continous usage so heat and fade won't be an issue.

Tidgy

try getting uprated lines instead, might find the brakes feel more positive doing that

i agree chris, also thought you want the car to be standard? OE pads it is then.

Find out the cost between a standard pad & a uprated pad.
If the difference is marginal why not go for the uprated pad anyway.

Well, I have found a supplier on Fleabay that is offering front and rear groove and drilled discs with Mintex pads for £180!! I have been quoted nearly £500 for EBC discs (grooved only) and red pads and £400 for Black diamond discs and pads.
I have asked if they will defo fit the 4 pots, to be on the safe side!!

If you are going the upgrade route then Mintex and EBC don't figure very highly I believe Em.

Why are you changing the discs as well?

i used to be a sales rep for a motor factors and we found the only probem wiv mintex is that they harden very quickly and the surface becomes glazed hense poor braking and squeeling,hope this helps ???????

If you are looking at CRN products i bought a set all round disks and mintex pads, they work just fine. I had problems with brake fade and it has improved massively with this set, can still get fade if i really push hard but then without spending out on new calipers and other upgrades you wont completely lose fade. I have done around 500 miles on them and they work well. BTW if they are advertised as buy it now or best offer then make an offer, if its a sensible one you will get them cheaper.

Both discs and pads are completely shot, so I need all round!!

Milamber

Still think you only need to go OEM

EmEm

Thanks doe the call Nate!! BIG help!!

EmEm

Where would the best place be to get them? Does Subaru still frown upon Jap Imports requesting quotes?

Nate

iTrader: (2)

Em,

Go where I said, they sell OEM parts

pinseeker

iTrader: (3)

Most places now welcome the custom but am sure someone will be able to tell you the right place to go

Milamber

iTrader: (2)

Xtreme or Mr Clutch should be able to source them.

They really aren't that hard to do though.

Milamber
