Found them. My confusion was that when I was searching I was getting pads that looked like this



and pads that looked like this



The ones scoobyclinic sell are like the bottom picture (ie, Ferodo fds1333)

Ferodo Racing distributed by TECNO2

What I need are pads like the top picture I think. It appears the difference is that the top picture are Jap STi pads for years 1998-2002, whereas the bottom picture is for UK cars and WRXs 1998-2002.

Would be good if anyone that thinks I'm wrong could respond before I order

not sure if the STi 6 has 2-pots or whether it's just the Type-R that does.

If you have 2-pot rear calipers i.e thay have Subaru clearly written on them. Then you want the top set.
If no subaru lettering it's the bottom set (single pot sliding caliper).

send Alyn (a.k.a stockcar) at AS performance a PM, he'll sort you out

My rear caliper doesn't look like this at all. In fact I can actually see the pads and they look like the more rectangular pads. Oh well, I'll order them and see what happens.

Thanks now it really does make sense

Just got EBC Redstuff rears for £40 and fronts for £75. Seemed like a good deal.
