Performance Friction disc and Z-rated pads,they command a premium price but by my own admission they are the best set up for the brembo caliper,and i have tried a few set ups over the ten years of my sti ownership,your spoilt for choice you can contact BOB of Aztec or Alyn of ASperformance,or Ian of Godspeed brakes for excellent prices and service,they are all Scoobynet traders.SJ.

How much do you want to spend?

There was a discussion about EBC including Greenstuff and those pads are completely unsuitable for our cars...even EBC have given them a low rating.

I'm running Godspeed grooved discs and Kevlar pads and for me they are fine and if you're on a budget bloody good value imo

Hi,
I'm also looking for a set of discs and pads for a widetrack (114.3?) STi. Do you happen to have any links to the discs and pad combos above? There seems to be a large variety...
Thanks,
Dibs

Again it all depends in budget and the intended use of the car. Mine for track days and sprints so I run giro disc 2 piece discs and race spec pads which are unreal but take a little warming up to get to full potential.

dan320sti

Yeah the green stuff pads just end up covering your freshly cleaned wheels with black dust.

dan320sti

Think ill go with the godspeed grooved and kevlar pads
Do the need warming up by any chance

Hi
No they work from cold , they are a mild pad being the first step up from standard so suit every day drives that get driven hard every now and again , they are a good all round pad that can take quite a bit of spirited driving.

Why are they so cheap for discs AND pads? Oem discs are more than twice the price and a set of DS2500s are £50+ more. Hiw can this be? Are they any good?
Thanks

I use this setup on my wrx, seen a couple of trackdays and weren't too bad, do tend to fade quite quickly but for the money there ain't anything better. I also find these pads are ridiculously dusty, within a couple hundred miles of normal driving the wheels are caked in brake dust, again it's to be expected for the price.

If you decide to go for these definitely get front and rears, I made the mistake of changing the fronts only first time round and it seemed to put a lot of pressure on the new pads, almost like it made the rears redundant and resulted in overheating of the fronts very quickly on track.

In a nutshell I'd say it's a good upgrade from standard for the money, you won't get better for less.

Thanks for the reply Rab. In your opinion would these be good on an sti with 340/50 bhp? I've got around £300 to spend on the fronts.

I've just got front grooved discs from Godspeed and PF-Z pads for considerably less than your budget. I've been running Godspeed discs and DS2500s for a couple of years, very good, but I think the new combo is better and less expensive.

Dibbles00

Paben I'm going with your suggestion. Read the reviews and have found the pads at ASP trading. Will be ordering them today.
Thanks
