I have just been advised that my pads need replacing and i have experienced brake fade on the standard pads.

I thought if i was to replace the pads i would look at a beeter option to take the brake fad away.

Looking on the forum: it would appear various types are recomended.

EBC Green stuff : No Good as they would warp the Discs.
EBC Red Stuff: Again warp discs
EBC Red Stuff Ceramic: better than red stuff and solve the disc warping
Mintex : noisy and wear quick
Ferrodo: Good but can be pricy

I am totally confused and was looking to anyone who has changed pads on a WRX03 standard set up, to provide feedback and advice and where to buy.

 

has to be ferodo, might be pricy but worth it in the long run.

cheers

I got hold of some rear pads from Alyn at AS Performance for the rear brakes.
Box was labelled up as Textar and were for the Nissan 300ZX.
They have balanced up the front Prodrive brakes no end but don't make a lot of dust and don't make a noise.
Very cheap as well - perhaps he has the same compound for the front 4 pots?

EBC red ceramic getting very good independant reviews.

Send a email via contact page on http://www.ebcbrakesdirect.com/ mark it FAO Buck and I sort you a good price out for pads.

If you want other makes, see alyn - asperformance.com
