Default Best place to buy brake pads...

hi,

can anyone recommend a suitable replacement for the oe impreza pads.

I have an impreza MY2002 WRX with the black calipers with subaru on them. Does anywhere supply genuine subaru pads? or is there a better alternative, bearing in mind I do not drive on trackdays and do not race the **** off it on the road either...

cheers

Rob

p.s. anyone use the EBC standard quality pads? front and rears coming at £156 delivered.
anygood?

You can do a lot better than standard but it depends what you want, a pad that works well from cold but runs out of ideas when hot (these are OE type) or something a bit more sports orientated. You can't have both whatever the advertising blurb might tell you.

Just bought Pagid 4.2.1 from the above supplier and the improvement over original equipment is light and day !! The cold bite is so much better and with less pedal pressure. In fact, I'm a bit pissed off with myself having entertaining O.E and then OMP for so long, it was like having the ol' 2 pots back on... Yes, the pads are more expensive but if you can afford the fuel, you can afford the pads !
