Thanks Simon but local Subaru dealer doesn't know anything about these and goes on to say that Prodrive don't offer these for the MY99.

ScoobyShop has fronts but apparently not rears...

Hi Jason - from Peterborough! Who's your local dealer? I use Welch Group in Cambridge and they know full well that Prodrive have an exclusive on DS2000 pads coz I told them and they supplied me. They will fit your car.

Confirming what Richard has said, I have used welchs for them to, Michael or Tony in service/parts know the part numbers. An other source is Elvis @ tyres northampton, he got my last set of rears via his local subaru dealer & fitted them at the cost of the pads only

Thanks Chaps
When I say local I don't truly mean local. I go to the dealer who I bought the car from in Lincoln. They apparently get no call for non standard parts nice people though...

I'll have a chat with the people at Cambridge or Tyres Northampton then...Thanks again

I've ordered the pads should be here next weds. I'll be using an upgraded (Prodrive) set of front disks. Does anyone know if I'll have to upgrade the rear disks?

Hi Jason. Glad you got sorted. You're car's an MY99 right, in which case it's got the vented rear discs and, if my expience is anything to go by (plenty of track days ) they will be fine with the Prodrive pads. I've just replaced my rear DS2000 pads after three track days and 10,000 road miles. They still have about 3mm on them, but better safe than sorry. Rear discs are fine.
