Dunno - have used the Performance friction pads/discs with the STI Brembo calipers and they are great.

i had these discs fitted all round on my07 wrx and found them top notch mate,as for the pads i had mintex1155 fitted and they knew how to stop,

but i changed to brembos and fitted new discs with the kevlar pads,there ok but the kevlar pads are very similar to standard,

at the mo i prefered my braketech set up at the mo until my new discs have bedded in them goin to put pf pads in so hopefully find them superb or i will be goin back to my braketech with 4pots again

Here is what Milamber had to say about them:

Easy to fit, no real dust issues so far, and they do the job better and better as they get some heat into them.

Brake technology has progressed since my first set of Mintex performance pads. You had to add an extra 20 foot to your braking distance when they were cold

With the PF pads it isn't an issue at all

Very good pads and probably worth an extra 15bhp due to the confidence they give you in the braking zones


Speak to Bob'5 and order them, I don't see how you could possibly be disappointed. If you are going to track the car then he can give you advice about better pads/discs but for the road you will be more than happy.
He thought they were PF, he was that happy with them, but they are actually our very popular Kevlar Fast Road pads.

Plenty of people on SN running the exact same package.

Our most popular package, one stage up from standard, work well from cold with improved bite and fade resistance
