uk sti brakes
 

my discs and pads need replacing on my uk sti and i just wanted a bit of advice in choosing the best discs and pads as there is so many to choose from.
R black diamond and EBC any good as they show up a lot on various websites?
cheers :)

i'm not sure on EBC discs, but the pads don't get very good press on here.

this is about the cheapest brembo disc i can find Brembo Sport Front Brake discs for Subaru - larkspeed.com although a slotted option is better if you do track days as drilled can crack between the holes if you really push them hard.

godspeed do a couple of options for brembo disc at very good prices aswell, well worth a look:)

I've just spent the last two weeks working out exactly the same as you. Standard Brembo Discs and pads needed replacing.

After talking to loads of people, I ended up with Godspeed's Two piece Discs and Performance Friction Pads.
Should all be fitted for next weeks tunnel run and I'll let you know how I get on.... :D

Hi mate if you can afford em for me its performance friction rotars and pads:norty:
They brill over the origanals with no fad and take loads of hammer just depends what your after improvement or just replacement:)
Hope this helps

PF pads are great, not doubting their stopping ability, but i was under the impression that you really need to keep on top of cleaning your wheels to avoid the dust getting baked on?

taking a look at mocom/zaks car a while ago and the wheels were properly ingrained with dust (if i've got it wrong and he doesn't use PF then apologies!!)

for me this is not something i can be arsed with, std brakes are fine for me and my driving. guess it's all down to what you use the car for:) and how often you clean it, lol

i've got the brembo drilled discs with ferodo ds2500, standard discs on the rear with ds2500. i find this set up very good and a lot better than oe discs and pads as you'd expect.

But i do think if i where to track that they would get too hot, if it were me and cost wasn't that much of a problem it would be PF discs with ds2500 for me.

P.S that price on discs in the link from hoskib is pretty good, i paid £249 from scoobyworld.:)

Good advice the DS2500 is a brilliant fast road pad you won't go far wrong with them.

AVOID EBC PADS AT ALL COST'S !!!!

Just replaced the front disc's&pad's on my 02 sti,with godspeed disc's&ds2500.very happy with these much better performance than origanals,not had any brake dust prob's,but only done 250mile's on this set up.:thumb:

When the pads needed changing on my 03STI I put on EBC Redstuff pads.
I found them fine, as good if not marginally better than the oe ones previously fitted, but then I am not a 'braker'
