Default MY99 - New Disks and Pads?

My MY99 stock UK spec turbo needs new front disks and pads.

Last set of pads fitted were "EBC Green" on the recommendation of my Subaru dealer. Was fairly pleased with the pads (once they warmed up).

What are the groups recommendations for new disks and pads these days.

Many thanks

Have a look at www.camskill.co.uk for some good prices on disks.

If you found the EBC greens OK then either stick with them or you could go for something like Ferodo 2500.

Thanks, will have a look.

Is there any point in going for drilled or ventilated replacement disks?

Your standard disks are already vented. I'd avoid drilled as they can start to crack around the holes. By the sound of things you are not that hard on brakes, so I would stick to standard disks although if you are after something that looks a bit better then you may want to consider groved disks.
