Default Best pads to use with 4 pots ?

I've just bought some 4 pots for my '96 WRX. What are the best pads to use with these ?

Also,do I need to fit newer discs or will the 4 pots work with my existing wrx discs ? They are Scoobyclinic grooved discs.

ferodo ds2500 pads are spot on . you will need new discs if you are moving up from 2 pots 270mm ish discs i believe,as the 4 pots use 294mm discs

I was under the impression that 4 pots just bolted straight on in place of the 2 pot calipers !!

yeah they bolt straight onto the hub, but you will need the corresponding 294mm discs

I changed from DS2500s to Pagid 4.2.2 Blues, which I find a much better pad. There is a risk of squealing with these, but mine don't with DBA 2 peice disks.

I have the Pagid 4.2.2 blues and they are very good. But like jay says, bit of squeal but only when reversing for me, and not much brake dust.
