Default Changing Pads On The STi7

OK guys, probably been done before but we don't have the benefit of search at the minute. I want to have a go at changing all the pads on the car and replacing them with something more trustworthy than the standard pads.

First question is - what pads do I go for? My braking style is one where if I step on the pedal I want to feel the braking result immediately, consistently, securely,time after time. I don't get the level of confidence that I'm looking for with the current OEM pads.

Second question is - how easy/difficult a job is this to do and what are the pitfalls to watch out for?

I have changed pads before but its been years since I got my hands dirty. Sensible advice welcome.

Cheers

Kev,

Will be very interested in how you get on. BTW, what's the part number for the Ferodo pads and where did you purchase from?

Cheers

Kev,

Thanks for that. I assume no fitting issues?

Cheers
