Can anyone tell me the shape of brake pads for a MY93 WRX. I need to order some from the Scoobynet shop.
Also which pads are best?
Mintex or Greenstuff?
I have a track day soon and don't want them to be wrecked.

Cheers, Steve.

Steve,

your car should have the 2-pot calipers -you'll want the Scoobynet Shape A pads. (eg, EBC 966)

Make sure the new pads have the same friction surface area as the old - the early non-turbo car used the same shape but had a smaller pad size.

I've got EBC greens & turbo discs on my '93 WRX. If fitting upgraded pads you'll probably also have to upgrade your discs to prevent warping.
