Just upgrading to the Subaru 4 pot calipers & standard discs.
Does anyone have any suggestions about brake pads?
I would prefer low dust and something that won't eat the discs away too quickly!
Thanks

Mail Ian Godney @ Godspeed, he is probably the best person I know to talk to. The pads you choose will also depend on your driving style. I would also suggest if you have not done so already braided hoses & a decent brake fluid.
See the thread Godspeed Brakes & you will find Ian on their somewhere.

I'm just looking into this at the moment. Gone back through pages of this forum finding out info.
Have EBC reds and are rubbish, greens were better but warped 2 sets of EBC discs and struggle to haul you to a stop from high speeds. Looked at the Mintex, Ferodo and Pagid. Pagid are 200 quid so I thought sod that
Mintex are good and just a little over half the price of the Ferodo DS2500 but the compound makes a mess of alloys and dusts badly so this put me off them, plus they squeal.....
Ferodo DS2500 - not found a bad word on them -yet . Low dust, work well from cold and not found anyone yet thats managed to fade them, so thats what I'm going for. Not cheap tho @ 150 quid delivered.

Thanks everyone. Lots of good advece there.
Looks like I wil go for the Mintex until I can think of an excuse too spend lots on Godspeed big discs and DS2500 pads.
Don't think dust won't be a problem, as my alloys need some attention anyway...
