Ferodo 4003 compound - is it suitable on a Subaru
I've come across some Ferodo pads in 4003 that will fit Prodrive Alcon brakes.
Ferodo describe the compound as suitable for low weight cars but also for rallying.
Is 4003 suitable for fast road/track use in a heavy std Impreza?

Quote below from Ferodo website, I'd guess the answer is no as Subaru's cannot be described as light..
4003
4003 is a compound that was specifically developed for light inertia cars (i.e. Formula 3, Ford, Opal, Vauxhall, Renault, Campus......) and Rally use. 4003 is the most commonly used pad, across the world, in F3 championships. 4003 can also be used in the rear axle of front traction racing cars (off road, asphalt, track).
The main characteristics of 4003 are:
short bedding in time
high friction level at any speed or temperature (0,48 coefficient of friction)
excellent initial bite
predictability and reliability when braking into the corner
