MY02 STI - rear pads - prices/makes
 
Hi,

My dealer has just quoted me £175 inc for rear pads for my MY02 STI.

Not having done them before, is this a good price or a rip off price ? Obviously they will only be standard pads.

I've got Ferrodo DS2500's on the front. Should I put these on the rear ?

How much braking power is done at the rear ?

Thanks,

Mark.

rear O.E.+ pads are available for less than a 1/3rd of that...............even ds2500's are only £60'ish dependant on supplier (not that i would recomend anyone obviously!?!)

contrary to most peeps belief it is VERY important on a 4wd car to have good braking performance from the rear of the car - most are under braked from the factory and (highlighted by uprating fronts!!) improving this helps the car 'pitch' less and exert more braking overall................

i had standard pads on rear and ds2500 on front and after a while noticed back end moved under heavy braking-got ds2500 off stockcar no problems since!

Buy them from Alynn (Stockcar) and save some cash, his delivery times are great also.
