Default Brakepad advice for Blobeye 2003 STI UK pls

Hi

Have searched through the forums as much as I can but can't find what I'm looking for.

I need to change the brake pads. The car is fully standard with the Brembo calipers.

I looked on Eurocarparts and their Pagid range come in two different dimensions and cross-referencing with EBC (as I currently have Redstuff) I see a different size of pad too.

E.g Front
EBC 131 x 75 x 15
Pagid 136.8 x 77.2 x 15

Rears
EBC 76 x 65 x 14
Pagid 76.5 x 65.5 x 14.3
Pagid 73.3 x 54.5 x 17

It's completely thrown me....thought it would be a simple case of putting registration plate and voila!

I am getting someone to change them this Sunday and have no means to take them off now and check unfortunately.

Any ideas guys? Thnx

Unsure on the size but I went for performance friction pads from as performance. Told them the car details and they arrived next day. Low dust.

Hi there what purpose are you using your scooby for eg: everyday,track days , or just occasional use? My opinion is to use original pads that come with all the bits etc do a good job of cleaning all areas were they go bit of copper grease and happy days why make life complicated keep to Std brembo pads or some ferrodo ones if you are too brake happy, they all sqeek after a bit when warm on these sti' no matter what from my experience stick to genuine parts

Thanks guys.....but if someone can direct me to the exact product on a website I can check the dimensions.

I have three kids....so driving like a proper old man. Hardly go fast so no need for the upgraded stuff.

Ive never had an issue with any brake pads from EURO when using the reg, cant help with the EBC stuff as I wouldnt touch it anyway.
