Question

Does anyone know if there are different pads that can be fitted to the Prodrive P1 Brakes other than the Subaru ones.

IE some fast road pads. Going in tomorrow so need to know quick Sharpish

yes lots.

But do you have the original 4 pots (crap took me 1500 road miles to warp the discs) or the Alcon P1 upgrade.

Once you know that you can ring someone like Demon Tweeks for instance and get quotes for a range of pads for either. Alternatively speak to Trouser at TSL (see his posts on here)- he's very helpful.

Basically I would try to get Ferodo DS2500 pads - best compromise between the original pads (which are ****e on 4 pots and marginally less ****e on Alcons - being DS2000) and DS3000 which stop you hard but **** your discs.

I run DS2500 all around on my P1 and put DS3000 in for any silly behaviour

I have the 4 pot calipers with Prodrive on them, don't really know a lot about them. No one replied so they have gone in to be replaced today with whatever subaru put in. May be tempted to change though if someone says it really is worth it. Guess I bought the car to have fun with so not saying money isn't an issue but may as well get what I can out of it.
