Which Pads??
 

Hi guys,
I need front pads for my '02 Impreza Wagon and I need them quick, I want to avoid halfords but to be honest I dont know where to start, I dont want some spongy milk bottle tops but at the same time I dont want some gold plated, tripple distilled super pad thats going to cost the earth.
So suggestions please

what about these?

Speak to Alyn @ A S Performance, top bloke!!!

thanks for the suggestion however I really just want some direct replacements for OE parts that I can either get on next day delivery or off the shelf.

I used those pagid blues from eurocarparts, they work fine for me as I don't do trackdays I have had no problems with them at all with my jdm sti

No probs, but why buy a performance car and fit crap brakes?

So they're not the right part for a WRX Turbo Wagon with Brembo Calipers, which I must admit I did wonder as the bhp rating on them was 262 however all the others would appear to be 123bhp.

Because for the moment as the car is otherwise standard I dont see much point in uprating the brakes as I dont go hooning around or take part in any track days. IMO Subaru put adequate brakes on the first time.

You won't find many people who'll agree with that (except PSLewis ;)).

If your old pads were OE and you were fine with them then fair enough, but you might be suprised by the difference with a 'decent' pad.

Fair enough, in which case I should rephrase my requirements,
Good pads that are available on next day delivery for a reasonable price.
Why do I want them so quick? I've got a 400 mile round trip to do at the weekend and the brakes have just started to grind :mad:

i fitted lucas (made by girling i believe) in my 05 sti, cost about £60.00 & seem better than the originals..

there's a group buy on here somewhere

Thanks bud, have placed my order so hopefully they will turn up tomorrow.

Hi Pete
Received your order , will be sent out today and be with you tomorrow
Cheers Ian

Fantastic Ian, thanks a lot. Now just to change them in the failing sun tomorrow evening, head torch at the ready!

Not because of the delivery time but due to the fact ill be babysitting all daytime

Curious as to what you ordered now!

Our kevlar pads

http://www.godspeedbrakes.co.uk/~god...?id_product=63 these ones as oobyju had posted up the earlier model pads at first but I was at least able to find my way to the correct year. And at least they are one step up from the standard pad which IF I have standard ones fitted at the mo I look forward to seeing the improvement.
That said I have no clue as to what brand they are, am I bothered? not really as long as they fit and work.

I have to say Ian, I had a good look around on Google for Impreza brake pads but Godspeed didnt figure anywhere on any of the results I found would it be worth linking the parts with the appropriate OEM Part numbers as I only had Scoobynet and Camskill return results when I searched for the brake pad part number. Besides that the site was easy to use and good choice having the ability to pay via paypal for added peace of mind. :thumb:

i think godspeed actually make or have those made specially for them, all they do is brakes anyway so assume they pretty good at it, going for the NDX blue myself, and discs, maybe some recon 4/2 pots.....or maybe the AP kit....lol

Hi Pete
Just do a search on here for feedback as there are loads on here using them.
Just checked on the couriers website and they will be delivered to you today between 10.30 and 11.30
Cheers Ian

Fantastic mate, thanks again. Just inspecting the disks this morning and to my dissmay the front right has got a number of grooves appearing on it no thanks to having to slam on the anchors last night to avoid a moped with no lights. So looks like I'll be coming to you for a set of disks in the near future.
Just wondering though, is it essential to change the rear disks at the same time as the front or just advised?

You don't need to change all the discs together , only change them when they need doing
Cheers Ian

Pads have just arrived, excellent service Ian
Loads of packing which is comforting to see.
Just gotta wait for the wife to get home to look after the littl'un so I can get out and fit them.

All part of the service :thumb: if you get stuck at all tonight fitting them PM me and I can run through any queries with you after hours
Cheers Ian
