Default 2005 STi pads

Hi,

I need a decent cheap low dust set of pads for my 2005 STi.

Ebay/web links welcomed.

It is running 330bhp and the standard ones are knackered, I do a bit of local car club racing and the odd track day.

Main use though is 'fast road' use

Red stuff any good?

Mintex ds2500 were suggested to me, any good?

Any ideas welcomed, thanks.

DS2500 no good for track days. OK for road use.
Try Performance Friction maybe?
Do a search, as this is such a repeated topic that most people won't bother posting on it.

I went for the DS2500 in the end, I need decent road use more than anything, and i presume they are better than OEM ones!?

I only do maybe 1 track day a year, and the OEM ones were fine for that so hoping these will be too

Cheers chaps
