Try Aztec Performance or Godspeed on here.

May be better not to simply go for the cheapest pads you can find.

Google "EBC Bluestuff". Not cheap, but rather fabulous!

Just fitted EBC bluestuff pads all round with some Godspeed discs and the combo is fantastic.

Another vote for EBC Bluestuff NDX pads from me - cheaper than the genuine Subaru pads I would think and far superior.

Try Ian @ Godspeed for brake pads be it Bluestuff or his uprated from standard Kevlar pads.

I`ve got the Godspeed kevlar pads...cheap as chips and equally as good if not better than standard. They have been OK for me...I`m not heavy on brakes thought.
The bluestuff seem to be the ones to go for if you get enthusiastic.

1 piece as I have just had my engine forged and rebuilt with a 321T, new clutch, FMIC, AVC-R...... haha

I dont really see the need for the 2 piece as the 1 piece discs are pretty cheap anyway.

We have various pads available to suit different driving styles , the NDX pads are very good as they work great from cold , are quiet , and will take a lot of abuse including track days , these in my opinion are the best all round pads available

I used the standard pads from Aztec £40.00 inc P&P and they are spot on, I was using Black Diamond and couldnt feel the difference between the too. I dont use the car hard so uprated pads was a waste of time for me.
