If you are considering EBC....

Redstuff Ceramic would be EBC's recommendation for your car, front and rear.

OR

Same front pads shown, rears can be different.

Discs, either standard plain or Turbo Groove.

Don't forget to use the promo code above for discounts.

Forget EBC. They are budget quality with a higher price tag.

Would rather fit OE stuff.

Prodrive pads on a 2003 WRX are a very good improvement over standard.

Contact Alyn ( stockcar ) at ASP Performance for good advice & good prices . I've just fitted his grooved 295 mm discs & Pagid Blue pads . They're still bedding in but already they feel better than the previous Mintex disc & pad setup ever did plus they worked out a lot cheaper as well .

I would avoid EBC stuff as in my experience their pads are no good for scoobies & overpriced . I remember when they first came out the green stuff was recommended for scoobys . I got a set & they were no better than standard pads & didn't last very long . Then they decided that the Redstuff was the recommended Scooby pad so I tried a set of them . Braking no better & they wore out even quicker ! Now they are recommending the Redstuff Ceramic . I wonder how long before they discover that they're not up to the job either ? Maybe their new 'ceramic' stuff is better but at £90 a set I'm not willing to take the risk .

I changed to mintex & I've been very happy with them but I may be a convert to Pagid , time will tell .
