i had them in my 2004 wrx and found they could not take the heat when giving it a bit,they ended up a burnt out mess
my advice would be to steer clear and get something else

So Frankie, what are you gonna do given the above two posts ?!

Pagids and Ferodos are good. Call Alyn at ASPerformance near Newcastle for good advice. Think he was a rallying type of chappy.

Be careful if you are getting them from Ebay. The company that sells a lot of them on there don't actually keep them in stock, and you'll have to wait 5-6 weeks for them to arrive.

As Andy says speak to Alyn @ A S Performance. I use the Pagids on mine, and they are fantastic.

Second Alyn @ ASP too. I also got Pagids and you'll have them next day from Alyn.

And I'll third it. Alyn's very good and is happy to give advice even if it doesn't mean a sale for himself. I will be getting some Pagids soon to take over to the 'Ring later in the year, but for the time being, my £25 OMPs (which I did get off ebay and arrived in a couple of days) have had no difficulty coping with everyday use as well as hard cross-country driving where I'm hard on the brakes every few seconds in a 300bhp wagon. I've had no issues with them at all, apart from they do like some pedal to get working, i.e. they're the opposite of 'grabby' brakes - there's not much initial bite, but when you lean on them they dig in. For the money there's nothing to touch them.

As I say, I'll be getting some Pagids off Alyn soon as I want a bit more initial feel on track, but it's not through lack of confidence in my OMPs.
