Cool

Keith,

I`ve been running on P1 pads for the past year and had no probs
Have tried various EBC, mintex & tarox parts but none as good IMHO of course. There`s a bit of a debate about if they are any different, now IMHO there is, they`re harder wearing. Bit pricey but u get wot u pay 4 m8 These can b had from most Subaru dealers.

I use Mintex 1155 on my car, very hard wearing, and very good compaired to the standard pads on my wifes car.

I'm a 1155 fan too
Never let me down
Can be a bit dusty but if you like anthracite wheels no probs there
Some find them squealy...Not me
Certainly lots better than standard pads Cheaper too
I've teamed them up with Blackdiamond discs
