Had the Blue's on mine and they were pretty good once bedded in, that was until the pad started to come away from the backing plate, at which point I binned them rather sharpish and put in some Performance Friction Z rated which are a better pad in all departments imo.

Hi thanks for the feedback,, I was reading on a GTR forum these pads were terrible and had some kind of mental bedding in process as well but that was from 2012!!! Is there anybody else that has used or is using this pad recently.

On my second set but in Ksport calipers, they have been faultless. not sure they work so well in the wrx 4 pots.

Bedding in process isn't any different to any other race(ish) pad. Performance is adequate, although not amazing from cold. In their sweet spot they're good and have decent feel but go beyond that and their performance falls off a cliff, to the point it feels like you're using blocks of wood. In big calipers they'd be fine but on the WRX 4 pots they struggle.
