Default Brake Pads for 2006 2.5 WRX

Can anyone tell me the best pads to get for my WRX? It has the standard brakes. I don't want to spend a fortune. The discs don't look perfect either; is it essential that I replace these? Car has done 47k.

Also, Are the pads difficult to replace? Do I need to get a garage to do it.

Cheers

Give Alyn at AS Performance on 0191 410 3770 a ring. He'll advise you and you won't get ripped off selling stuff you don't need. Always excellent prices and service.

For similar money, you can get Ferodo DS2500 which are far superior to the OE Subaru pads

Doesn't appear to be any rear discs for 2006 model?

Can anyone recommend an improved set of discs & pads that aren't too expensive?
