Too good(or crap) to be true?

More famous for racing clothing and accessories than performance parts. Spend the extra and get some Ferodo, Pagid or Mintex.

 

Has anyone actually got a set of these OMP Pads fitted ??

I know you pay for what you get but it would be interesting to get some feed back.

Anyone know who "actually" makes them for OMP ??

 

As I need to change my front pads I'm gonna get some, For that money it's worth a try for a few thousand miles! Until they are treid nobody knows!

 

Any feedback on these yet??

 

What do usual ones cost?

 

Yes I have some OMPs fitted. They feel like the oem Subaru ones and seem to work just as well. I previously had Pagid (421 black?) which felt great but put a lot of dust on my wheels and didn't last very long.

As long as you are not doing trackdays they should be fine.

 

Do you have 4-pot brembos?

 

I've got a set on the front of my wagon (4 pots). No problems at all. And contraty to what's said above, IMHO well known for very good value, good quality race/rally parts than clothes and whatnot. They make all sorts: approved roll cages, group N exhausts, braces, brake discs and pads, race/rally accessories like window nets/maplights/tie-downs/spare wheel cages etc. Never known them to sell anything but purely functional parts unlike some so-called Japanese 'tuning' companies.

Unless you're taking your Scoob on track a lot, it's crazy to spend £150+ on fancy pads, although if you believed everything you hear on Scoobynet you'd think no-one on here thought anything of spending £1500 on suspension, £200 on brake pads and no doubt £30 on special silicone wiper blades.

So to answer your question, yes I run OMP 'Road & Track' pads which are supposedly consistent from 100-600 degrees C, I do a lot of heavy braking, and they've always done their job with no fuss. First on a set of standard Subaru 294mm discs, now on a set of DBA slotted discs. And if there's something ever goes wrong with them, at least I'll only have blown £30.

Sorry that this is turning into a bit of a rant, but there are enough Subaru-only parts that I end up paying a fortune for to keep my 'reliable' Subaru on the road, without CHOOSING to pay a fortune for overkill brake pads. IMHO

 

No I have the Subaru 4-pots (03 WRX) but I can't see the brembo version being very different.

 

Thanks for the reply and couldn't agree more m8 - especially about the people who think you 'need' to spend a fortune on suspension & brakes !
