Go with Ian's. You cant beat the quality and they have made a massive difference on mine. I'm running EBC yellow stuff pads on them and they are working great. But TBH if I hadn't bought the pads before the discs would have gone for his own Kevlar pad set.

I'm running Ian's discs and pads at the rear, they complement my front setup of DS2500 pads on DBA discs with braided hoses and DOT 5.1.

Give us a call to discuss your requirements.

You would be ill advised to run pad "X" on the rear without knowing what you are running upfront.

We have options from just £89.99 a set.

Ian, similar query to geordieempire - however, the backplates on my 2005 WRX are showing signs of corrosion. Is it worth replacing discs and pads without sorting out the plates? I've been quoted £700 to replace the whole lot.
Cheers
Jo

If anything it will be the stone guards showing signs of rust , the backplates will be ok on a car that age , £700 seems a bit of a mickey take !
The stone guards are only thin steel , it wouldn't matter if you took them of , its what I do when converting the early cars to run later brakes
