Default Let's talk brake pads - Alcon/Prodive setup

Guys,

Looking the replace the front pads but am completely overwhelmed by pad choice. I have Alcon/Prodrive 4 pot callipers, the car will not be tracked. The pads need to be as dustless as possible which I appreciate is a tall ask!


Any recommendations?


Cheers

Hi
Loads of types available , what is your intended use ?
Low dust usually means a harder pad , the more performance oriented pad , the less dust they give off , but are then aggressive on discs and can squeal

Hi Ian,


The car (2004 Subaru WRX Wagon) is used mainly as a weekend play thing, isn't tracked or driven aggressively.


Would you suggest a medium compound?

Interested in the outcome of this. I have Dixcel pads all round mine (I'd never heard of them until last week) as they were on it when I bought it. They have pretty much no feel or bite at all and I want to change them.
