Talking New Pads - 2003 WRX - Any advice?

Hello,

New front pads coming up for 2003 WRX. Any ideas on:

1. Best buy for fast road and occasional track use?

2. Best place to get them at the best price?

3. How much and what type of upgraded brake fluid to get? - where from?

Merci,

Brian.

Either Ferodo Ds2500 or Pagid pads best, I like my Ds2500's..... good consistant braking and no squealing...fade free.
Dot 5.1 Fluid....and you can get it in cool blue , get a couple of litres and I'll change mine at the same time
Em not sure where is best to buy.

Have a look here. Look for the JWR Racing Stoppers Kit at £205 (inc VAT). Contains DS2500 pads, DOT 5.1 fluid and a set of Goodridge stainless hoses. After reading recent reports though, I think the new EBC Red Stuff Ceramic are the better pad, but the kit is good VFM.
