Front Discs & Pads
Hi all,
I'm on the lookout for a decent set of new fronts discs and pads for my 07 plate STi Spec D.
More than likely Godspeed I'm sure, but what items will do a good job?
It's just a standard road car etc, but would be nice to have more braking power if possible.
I don't want a pad that takes forever to warm up, nor do I want something that creates too much dust.
Just a decent road set up is what I'm after. Any advice would be greatly appreciated. Standard Brembo set up is what I have by the way.
Cheers,
Matt

My vote goes for the pagid disc/pad combo for a road car from ecp. Ive had performance friction,ebc and the o/e brembo stuff on mine. The standard pagid stuff has been far better than the so called performance stuff. The brembo stuff felt wooden. Both the ebc and performance friction over heated to quickly causing brake fade. my car is a road car. Also used for sprinting

Performance friction 2 piece disc & bell on the front, with PF Z pads all round on the RB.
Great bedding in formula & awesome upgrade for the OE Brembo callipers!
I have Godspeed's grooved discs & kevlar pads all round on the wife's John Cooper Works BMW Mini. Great piece of kit!

For your use we can offer you our grooved front discs and German Kevlar pads for £175 , or £295 for front and rears , for your use and the price they cannot be beaten.
From there you go up to better spec pads but the price goes up , and with your use you wouldn't use the pads to there full potential so no point in doing so.
The bells are the alloy centres bolted to the discs on a 2 piece disc
Cheers Ian

I'm using ebc yellows I've used these pads for a number of years now and I can't really fault them most my friends use them now and don't complain atall you will however get a lot which say there not great.
At the moment I'm on standard faced discs and yellows all round and I'm having no issues slowing her down on the road lets be fair how many people are doing serious braking to fade their brakes out, they need to be on a track with a better set up. I'm not saying yellows are the best thing out there but for the money paired with a good disc either an ebc usr disc bit pricey or the pagid disc from euros is brilliant value plus they come zinc coated so the hubs won't rust like most other discs out there, the usr disc has the same zinc coating but black.
You could spend around 600 on discs bells and pads but I think they will be overkill for you
