Default quick brake pad question...

Having had my MY99 Impreza for six months now the pads are getting low, what pads would you guys recommend as I think most of the fade associated with these brakes is down to pads (or that is what I have been told)?

I can recommend Pagids RS29s although they only do them for the Brembo brakes. Next best (and a big improvement over std) is the RS42 Blues. A good supplier is ASP

1155s are Mintex - Ferrodos would be DS2500 maybe

I had DS2500s on my Classic - very nice, although I did have upgraded discs from TSL as well. Lovely stuff.

If its just for fast road use then the Ferodo DS2500 or Pagid RS42 or RS421 are good.
Dont forget though - performance pads last no where near as long as the OEM ones !
