Question

I guess this has been asked many times before, but I just can't find where!

I've got a 94 WRX 5-door. What I want to know is, do std UK pads fit (fronts in particular)? If not, what do I need?

I think I may have to go buy a set in the morning!

I`m pretty sure that if you have standard two pot calipers that u.k and wrx are all the same for my94, I have a 95 wrx and use pagid pads.

I have a 95 WRX and i put in some 1155 pads. Said on the side of the box they were for a legacy!

Transformed the brakes though!

ref the enquiry for brake pads for WRX.
The ideal ones to use are Mintex 1155 material FRONT and REAR, this will improve things drastically assuming brake discs are in good order. Contact me daytime on 01252 860612 (Farnborough, Hants)for more details.

Thumbs up

Thanks for the info. As it was, I had to go out and buy the only set I could find in the area at 11:00 on a Saturday morning - I'm sure there was supposed to be something other than just metal in the calipers! I'd forgotten that we don't get pad wear warning lights! Ended up with EBC greenstuff pads - seems they are the same for WRX and UK.

Gwyn - will still need some new rears soon, so will give you a call. What else do you do - never know what other bits I might need!
