Default NEW OWNER Brake pad advice

Hi All,

I have just picked up an M reg WRX and it's in urgent need of rear brake pad's !
Now im new to all this so bear with me, I havent got the log book yet as it was a friends car and he wasnt around when i collected it, im not sure what year it is ! So im struggling to find the correct pad's, the fronts would be a lot easier as they are AP racing !
Any help greatly appreciated
Regards
James
P.s car is an import !

Not quite sure what you're asking but Ferodo DS2500's are good pads....I am using them with my AP 6pots.

They MIGHT be the pads to suit a 266x10mm disc with a single pot sliding caliper.

you'll have a 266mm vented rear disc and (early style) sliding caliper set-up on the rear
