Need help deciding which front pads & disks to buy!?!
Hi all scoobie peeps!
Iv got a 1995 wrx wagon import which has got a bit of brake judder on the front end(I believe!), So im looking to replace both the disks and pads...The only thing is i haven't had the 4 pot upgrade as i cant afford it atmo so im looking for advice and links as to what i should be considering..
should i get standard non oem disks and uprated pads, or go for grooved disks ect...??
Moneys a little tight especially this time of year so i need to be kind to my bank balance..
All help and advice much appreciated

Not disputing above, but try Alyn at AS Performance - Rally Motorsport Specialists (.uk?) for great deal, but deep experience too!

Don't be so polite Grahem! EBC are ****e, and that's an understatment!
Pagid pads with standard disks work well. Add braided hoses and some good quality brake fliud, and you should have a vast improvment.

I bought my last set of 4-pot discs and pads from Graham Goode and they have been great. A bargain too. I'm sure you can buy better but these have done well for me and my STi. I'm going to try some uprated pads next just to see if they do make a difference. But if budget is tight ... here are the 2-pot versions.
