Default 05 Blob STi Disc/Pad advice needed
I have an 05 STi and on last service was advised that will soon need to look at discs and pads all round.I prefer Brembo discs as price is not much higher than EBC etc and about same as Subaru OE.Was also thinking if go for Brembo,is it best to go for Brembo pads or if anyone on here has these discs,then what pads are you using?.Car not tracked,normal too enthusiastic driving
