Car is going in for a service and the pads will need changing. Subaru price seem a bit high but i dont know what is the best alternitive.

for everyday use i have been told that DS2000 is the best bet as around £80.

But th usall suspects seem to always come up on other threads, like

DS2500
Pagid
EBC Red/Yellow

Bearing in mind that i want then for pure road use as my car will never see a track which is the best option and where do i go for the best price?

Someone HELP!!

 

Best option by far is DS2500, keep an eye out for a guy on here called Alyn from ASPerformance, give him a bell, and he'll deal with you nice and promtly!!

 

the Ferodo ds2000 is no longer current and has been replaced with a DSPF red pad!! this is NOT and performs no where near as well as ds2500...................

for 'fast' road use the ds2500 and Pagid rs4.2.1 are reasonably similiar in general but the Pagid gets the drop by a better "cold bite", and slightly better all round friction, temp. and mileage ability...................

always in stcok and mention "scoobynet" for a deal.......................

thanks Ron, must of been typing in unison!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

 

Thanks for the quick feedback guys

i hear that the DS2500 screech at low speeds, is this really an issue or just people being picky.

Also how much do the retail at roughly.

 

mince!

mine don't screech at all, but then they are a bit larger than on the scoob 4 pots.....but that doesn't matter

 

Mine screeched at low speed & I mean really screached. Ian Godney put some sticky pads off another manufacturers pads on the back & screech disapeared, Also the copper slip grease helps if its not too bad

 

Thanks again, DS2500 seem to be the ones.

How easy are pads to fit on 4-pots? Easy or really should be left to a garage?

Anywhere where i can find a fitting guide?

 

On the four pots it's a snitch, remove wheel, (anyone can do that)
look at the caliper, on the back there's a little long spring which goes through both pad retaining pins, remove the spring, then tap out the pins from the back, the big spring on the side will fall off too, once the pins are out, i use an old screwdriver in between the pad and disc, lever it so the end digs into the pad, and push the pad as afr away from the disc as you can, then remove it, and fit a new pad, repeat for the other pad, then refit the pins and springs in the reverse order to how they came off, sit in car and press brake pedal a few times BEFORE driving, job done.

Oh, and don't forget to do both sides!!
