OMP brake pads?
 
Are the above front brake pads any good, :confused:

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

I've found them very good on my 4 pots.

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.
