I've always used Paigd pads so likely go for the rs29s as still road friendly but awesome on track. I'll get in touch with them.

I have used ds3000 and didn't like them at all.

 

Ross is your man for Pagid pads also.

 

Nice car Chris
Yea as above , uprate the front disks to performance friction & pads

 

Hi Chris,

They are on Page 3 in Subaru Parts Section

Nice first Subaru.

I run DS2500 but with AP 4 pots & 2 piece disc, they do everything I need on road and track, also fit behind 17's. I wouldn't waste the money on trying to sort the brembos, just sell them on for £450/500 while they're still in good condition and put that towards some AP's, by the time you've bought new discs and pads and sold the brembo's you're only a couple of hundred quid off shiny new AP's which will serve you better in the long run.

I and many others on here know which set up we'd sooner have.

Speak to Alyn @ AS performance and Ian or Ben @ Godspeed brakes, you won't go wrong with either.

 

4 pot ap's could be a option but are really going gain that much over 4 pot brembos.

Has anyone used the Godspeed 2 piece discs ? Or are they a chase of get what pay for...

 

Where do people recommend for having cambelt done?

 

Godspeed are very good

 

Have you got them on yours?

 

I have tarox discs with performance friction Z pads, I used to have them on my 8MR, very good from cold and all round.

 

Lovely car fair play, and as you said looks to have been well looked after…..Enjoy

 

Are the z pads carbon based?

And thanks Ian did look after her well


Well after week of owning it I'm still enjoying it . It's just great fun and love every minute of it.
One thing noticed amount attention it gets and had afew thumbs up when driving it. Defo up there as one best cars I've owned.

Also very good on price.

 

Yes they are mate.SJ.

 

Awsome car i came from Ford rs have had 4 scoobys had hawk spec c put performance disc and pads on it the best

 

As a rule I don't like the styling of the Hawkeye


But that is very nice indeed

 

Absolutely stunning ,so fresh in white,just awesome.............

 

cheers

 

Hi Chris, car looks great. I have one exactly the same and thought the same thing about the brakes. After looking into it and speaking to Ewen at Clark Motorsport I replaced the standard discs / pads with DBA discs and Pagid pads. The difference is night and day and wouldn't hesitate in recommending the same. Hope that helps. Enjoy the car.
All the best
Sean

 

Thanks for the advice
Think I've settled on pagid rs29s and performance friction 2 piece.
The brakes do work but just lacks any initial bite. Could be a lot sharper.
