Default Rear Pad Help

Hi, got MOT coming up and want to change my rear pads. They are close to the limit so rather do it now and get through MOT than let testing station tell me.
Want to stick to OE type pads so anyone know the part number for
Rear pads, MY53 WRX Impreza.
Im going to change them myself so just need to order the right ones.
Thanx in advance.
I have used search function but as of yet not found what i want.

standard pads are rubbish full stop. Most of the braking is done through the front to be fair but it really depends on budget. Endless racing do a pad which is pretty much as good as Feroddo DS2500 but a little cheaper. Give Alyn at AS Performance a bell he is top notch and has been preparing cars for years he will sort you out with a good option at a very good price which prob wont be far removed from a factors price but what you get for your money will be night and day.

Good advice on the pads, but if the OP puts uprated pads on the rear, with oem pads on the front the balance will be upset and could cause issues with the front pads overheating.
