which spark plugs and brake pads help!!!!!
 
just after a bit of advise, ive got my98 uk turbo with a few mods i seem to get a lot of brake fade after heavy braking i think it is to do with the stock pads just wondering any good advise on better pads and if u think it will stop brake fade, heard about green and red stuff what do u think. and again haerd about new iridium plugs any advice on these or other makes. thanks for any feedback in advance.
cheers mike

ebc now recommend red stuff for impreza

You will get an improvement in braking over the stock pad with any of the leading high performance pads from EBC (Red Stuff), Ferodo (DS2500-squeally), Mintex (1144 road/1155 road/track-dusty) or Pagid (RS4.2-expensive). If you go EBC make sure you get the new compound E388. To cure it more completely you may be better fitting braided brake line (Goodridge-£45-75) and better (DOT5.1) fluid.

Hi Mike,

Right then the plugs you need are NGK PFR7B's standard are 6's.

The pads are EBC Ceramic Reds - not greens or old reds.

Both are fitted on MY96 UK Turbo ( Modded ) Fine.

Cheers Red.

Brake fade will be heat related.

1. Brake fluid overheating/ineffective- replace with high temp dot 5.1
2. Pads/discs getting too hot - replace pads with pads which are better at higher temps (ie EBC Red Ceramics)

Bob
