Question

I have a 03 WRX and the pads will need to be changed soon. Brake setup is stock. My question is shall I stick with the standard subaru items (what are they btw?) or shall I change for something else?

Prodrive claim to do a pad only upgrade. Anyone have any experience with it or with something else?

don't bother with EBC's if you drive hard or do track work.

new set of greens fitted day before track day as last resort, okay for 4laps then cooked.

reds , nicest all rounder I used but down to metal after 500road miles and 30laps.

yellows lasted well but material melted from back plates on second track day.

the best I have used is a full pagid set-up. they cost a fortune but work out cheaper as they last so well.

Ds2500 by Ferodo great pads, not sure about track ability but great feel for road use IMHO. Sure they are about £150 ish iirc
