Question

I would appreciate your opinion taking the following scenario to choose to buy new pads.
Conditions:
- Using TDA drilled and slotted discs with 2 pot caliper brakes:
- Fast road use (little track days use)

1. OE Subaru Pads
2. EBC green Stuff (same price as OE)
3. Pagic Blue (twice the price of the previous)

Which will be your choice using a value for the money criteria?

Thank you

If you can get them, Mintex 1155 are the best combination for performance and VFM - about £70 a pair. Failing that, Ferodo DS2500 are pretty good. All IMHO of course.

OE is better than EBC IMHO so steer clear

I've just fitted DS2500 and even after 100 miles they are better than any of the EBC pads I've had before by quite some way
