Default there's always the slowing down as well

my scooby is running standard brakes at the mo, i was wondering if i could improve them any way without spending to much. somebody said try fitting green brake pads is this correct and if so would there be much difference.

Subaru 4 pots 294mm
Disc and pad upgrade is probably your cheapest option, the discs are not exactly expensive (compared to the Brembo 4 pots on the STI) so pads, mintex 1144/1155 ferodo 2500's, pagid blues (though this is where its going to be a little more expensive) or performance friction pads.
Your next step would be STI brakes but you need the wheels also unless you have upgraded new age 17/18 inch wheels?
