Need to replace front pads on 93 WRX. Still has the original 2 pot calipers, which while they arent the last word in stopping power, I've always found them to be pretty reasonable.

Dunno whats coming off them, all I can read on the back of the pads is made in Japan and a logo that resembles the letter M (Mintex?)

Anyways; what is the best pad I can put in the standard two pot caliper for fade resistance, stopping power, etc etc?

I've had Pagid FR on mine and I think thay are excellent. I also suggest fitting braided hoses and 5.1 fluid.

I ended up getting EBC Greenstuff under recommendation from the chap at Demon Tweeks. Anyone got any experience of running a set of these?

I'm running green stuff pads on my RA until I have enough pictures of the queen to get a 6 pot conversion.
I find them ok, but need warming up a little, ie a good stab before any serious braking.
I have had a little fade but nothing really scary and only after I had really pushed it. Using the disks also.
