Question

It's time to invest in some new front discs for MY95 WRX with 2 pots and have come up with the following options within my budget.

Black Diamond - Grooved / Drilled / Combi

Tarox - Sport Japan / G88 40 Groove

Pagid - 8Groove / 16Groove

Any suggestions and opinions on which of these are the best and would Pagid fast road pads be ok with these. Car isn't used on track days or anything, just need some good stoppers as OEM ones are warped.

Thanks

Have a look at this website http://www.camskill.co.uk/products.php?plid=10/0/0/0
They do cheap priced but good quality brake discs and pads.

I got the Pagid 8 groove, front and rear with the fast road pagid pads and braided hoses and must say feels much better all round.

I swear by the black diamond combi.
I have tried other disc and they seem to warp so quickly which is so frustrating.
In my opinion the black diamond are great. I currently have mine set up with redstuff pads which is not the normal approach, when cold the braking is very average but as soon as they heat up they are amazing for standard size discs. Mines a 97 salon.

Talk to Ian Godney (Godspeed) or Stockcar.

Now's the time to upgrade those 'orrible 2-pots to four, and get some quality discs and pads.

Will cost a bit, but you will seriously enjoy
