My current pads are a big load of rubbish time and cant stop anything. Time to upgrade now was wondering what the best pads are?

 

Best pads I ever found were PAGID RS 4-2 (Blue) on my old Alcon equipped WRX.

 

Ferrodo DS2500s replacing OEM pads after a lot of unnecessary worrying about whether they would be any good. They are much better than the OEM ones and the only downside is that they are very dusty and wheels don't stay looking clean for long.

Really, I read so much rubbish on the net (including on this forum) about the suitability of these pads, with some saying they were verging on dangerous in the cold and needed warming to work. I honestly don't know why some have found that as I've used mine in all seasons and they bite immediately, always! This includes while on a skiing trip to the Alps in sub-zero temperatures and snow!

I can put up with the dust, so don't see myself going elsewhere.

 

Thanks for the replies I was thinking about DS2500s anyone know wheres the cheapest place to get a set?

 

My front pads lasted 65,000 miles and my rears lasted about 85,000 miles .... so, I bought proper SUBARU pads once again

 

Ebc blue.

 

another vote for DS2500's

 

Mintex 1166 - well better than the DS2500's that I had before - on my 4th set of Mintex now - very dirty pad though - DS2500, much kinder to alloys - but I do not rate them in terms of performance

 

Performance Friction. Much better than the DS2500's i had before

 

PF-Z's on the Spec C

I use Ferrodo DS2500 pads front and rear! Not change them for anything else!

 

performance friction pads are spot on.

 

I'm running EBC Yellow Stuff and I've never had any problems.

Some hate them, some love them, I think it depends on your driving style.

 

DS2500s on mine, not to my liking will be changing next time round as personally i have found them lacking in cooler weather and do take a bit of warming up which isn't too good where i live as its all bends, hills and tractors waiting around each one.

But when warm they are amazing!

 

Depends on what calipers you have and what type of driving you do?

What suits one person won't necessarily suit another.
