Default 2003 bug eye wrx- best break pads?

Hey guys

looking for top notch brake pads that will do me for road use and track days.

They need to be able to not wear out after three weeks!!!!

Ferodo DS2500

Especially if you like black front wheels.

You will be fine to just do the fronts.

People are raving about the Performance Friction brakes at the mo, and there are some good deals to be had.

Check the trader announcements page.

Guys I can get EBC yellow stuff pads front and back at a fair price?
Anybody used them?
Are they good for the odd track day and hard driving generally?
Do the have good life span?

thanking you

I'm using Pagids too in my 2003 WRX. If you ring Alyn and tell him what you use the car for, track, road, etc he'll give you options and prices. You decide from there. He won't say you must buy brand X just cos he'll make more profit.
