I bought so oe pads for my V3 STi saloon from Camskill they were ok with normal driving but faded badly with a bit of spirited driving so i wouldn't recommend them tbh.

I bought some grooved discs and kevlar pads from Godspeed and they work very well and the pads are a good price.

I've used APEC pads the last two times and have no problems with them. I assume you're a sensible driver when you say normal pads will do!!

I put Black Diamond predator grooved discs on the front and predator pads all round on my legacy and it was like night and day. The standard brakes did not inpire confidence at all, but from the moment I put the new stuff on they were great.

They are also good value for money.

Cheers
