ASP are tops - give Alyn a call and he will sort you out for the pads at a great price.

Would be worth getting braided hoses and proper fluid too whilse you are at it and it will transform the track day experience.

If you are wanting a track day to try them out on : https://www.scoobynet.com/track-days...-trackday.html

Fast road pads for a modified Impreza? Can do a lot worse than second-hand pads it seems

ds2000's don't exist anymore and haven't done for some years!!

i do know of various companies offering these for sale, however they appear to be DSPF comound which bears no relation to either ds2000 or ds2500!!

make sure your getting what you ask for, alyn
