.... and if so what are your recommendations on them.

My standard discs and EBD redstuff pads are almost worn and need replacing all round.

I've seen some good reviews on these, not so much with the Kelvar pads though but thought I'd throw this into the mixer and see what we all think.

They wont be used for track but for everyday use.

Cheers.

i've used the kevlar pads on my WRX for the last year and can't fault them. They took a bit of punishment on the Highland Fling and i can't complain about them at all. Fairly low dust compared to the std subaru ones that were on before that.
I've ordered the full disc and pad set up for the new STI to go on when it's serviced in the new year. Just waiting on them being delievered. If the pads aren't up to it (i'll be surprised if they aren't) i'll get a set of the new formula BlurStuff on there before the next Highland Fling.

Use this set up on my 4 pot classic daily driver. Much better than standard. Work from cold, low noise and low dust. Managed to get them to fade once but I had to work at it.

Excellent value for money on the lighter classic. Would have to ask the newage boys how they fare on the heavier later cars.

Never had any issues with them on the Blobeye WRX. They seem to work well all the time and i've never had them fade on me yet. We'll see how they fare on the Litchfield when they go on in January but i'm not expecting any issues with them
