Are these ok?
Ok need some front disks and pads, on a bit of a budget but saw these 2 on ebay.
Are they any good? better than the genuine disks? or cheap rubbish?
Also going to get pads too, can anyone point me in the right direction for some good quality/affordable ones? i have an my99 uk classic btw.
Or anyone got any in their garage in good nick?
eBay.co.uk: SUBARU IMPREZA BRAKE DISCS FRONT SUBARU 4 POT CALIPER (item 280106454594 end time 29-Apr-07 11:20:21 BST)
eBay.co.uk: BRAKE DISCS DRILLED GROOVED EBC GREEN STUFF SUBARU 98- (item 220104261984 end time 29-Apr-07 15:38:07 BST)
eBay.co.uk: OMP Front Brake Pads/Discs SUBARU IMPREZA 2.0 TURBO STi (item 330110877347 end time 29-Apr-07 15:24:00 BST)
Also heard a something on here that drilled disks are liable to warp? is this correct?
Thanks in advance for any replies

Drilled may crack under stress, though not warp, thats due normally via heat transferrence between the discs and pads where the pad is hot and the disc is hot and your foot is on the brake, it doesnt cool down at the same time as the rest of the disc and warps out of shape, hence the reason you only feel it when the discs are hot usually.

Remember the kit does not come with the new pins for the calipers which are £5 a piece from Subaru (£20 in all). Rattle clips are £15 a piece if you fancy changing them and the wire pin holding pin is £3 each.
