discs and pads
 
just got my Scooby back from its service today, was advised I need rear discs and pads.

so looking for pointers to good deals! I remember someone pointed me to a seller on here when I first got the car.

but cant remember who it was??
any advice would be much appreciated :thumb::thumb::thumb:

Godspeed? I've just bought their grooved discs with black centres all round. Faultless service from them.

I might be going with Opie for Brembo pads all round, and the discs they have I think are Brembo aswell. The part numbers cross match my quote from a main dealer for Brembo pads and Subaru discs.

I know they're not Subaru discs from Opie, but crikey, I can't afford £1500 + VAT for OE.
Oh, and then get them fitted too, forgot about that!!

we carry various options on the shelf from high quality OEM, Brembo, Pagid, PFC, Mintex, Ferodo Racing, etc. to suit various budgets and uses -road to race use

we might have "just a little" experience to back all of this up as well as value for money pricing :norty:

Out of interest what do you think of the pagid discs and pads as a budget set up ? My brother has some on his sti and really rates them but there incredibly cheap which worries me

I've put Pagid front discs on mine with Brembo pads and they work great :)

Yeah I've heard a few people now say good things about them , considering there price bracket they seem to get some positive feedback , and come with 2 year warranty against warping etc , I usually fit ebc pads or brembo , but I'm in need of discs and pads on front so looking at different options ATM

Pagid are a large OEM manufacturer being std equipment on various VAG group, etc. and their aftermarket stuff is good value for money IMO not to be confused with their competition RS range which we also supply
(virtually a separate concern in the same way Ferodo Racing stands apart from Ferodo Mogul)

Is this the stuff from Euro car parts?

Not sure where he got his tbh , think there's several places that sell pagid , I think his local garage who works on his car suggested them as a budget set up , cost less than £150 fitted for front discs and pads and he's very impressed so far , I need to get my fronts done and then a fresh mot and then I'm going to be selling up as moving to a forged hawk

I've just bought a pair of rear discs for my RA from Graham Goode, £45 delivered.... can't grumble at that.

Off topic....
Alyn, my linkage is a later type so I'll give you a shout this week.

Just checked, I got mine from Car Parts 4 Less (which I think is the same Company as Euro Car Parts).

The ones I got were just plain - for a Hawkeye STI

How do you find them ? You used them heavily yet? Any fade etc , good bite from cold ?

Yes fine, no issues at all, they've been on for a few thousand miles now. Bite from cold fine - I just use Brembo pads with them P54039 which I think are the same as OEM anyway.
