AFAIK they should work both on track and on normal roads. Work well from cold and will give you a much better "bite" than OEM pads... then again anything will.

Won't dust as much as some other pads but will squeel when reversing (haven't noticed when braking going forwards...).

Most of my friends who own imprezas run Pagid blues all the time because they are good for all types of driving!!!

P.S I will be giving you a call tommorow about a price for Pagid discs 299MM

Yep - I run Pagid blue pads with Pagid 8 groove discs. IMHO the best upgrade before you get into the serious money and do the AP / Brembo conversions. Brake feel is improved, stopping distance is reduced and they track straight and true when you have to stamp on them hard (also done a track day at Bedford and a few laps of Nurburgring with no problems whatsoever).

So what's the difference between the Pagid discs with 16 grooves and 8 grooves... apart from a few quid?

And are they (Pagid) miles better than the old Brembo group N discs (that I currently have)?

Can someone please tell me what the recommended bedding-in period for Pagid blues on Pagid 8 groove discs is please? I am doing two sessions at Trax and want everything well sorted by then.

Cheers

Simon - seem to remember being told that it was a couple of hundred miles at most. Best thing to do is speak to Jeff at HiSpec engineering. He supplied my Pagid kit - very knowledgable guy - details at

hi darren..how noisy are they under heavy braking..mark

Just picked up my 8 groove pagid discs from the friction w/shop for just over £165 WHAT A BARGAIN,running in the Pagid blues at the moment.Give it 200 miles and they will work fine!!!!!!

I just upgraded to Pagid pads/8 groove discs - best thing I've done to the car - great feel even from cold, and fantastic stopping power compared to standard STI setup.

Scoobysport advised a good 3-400 miles running in but also over a few weeks so that they heated up and cooled a number of times in order to temper etc and prevent warping when pushed hard.

Mark the brakes are no louder than OE,just much better performance!!!!!!!!!
