Rears don't do a lot of the work so I would grab some pagids from eurocarparts along with some copper grease.
Changing pads on a subaru is dead easy. It takes longer to jack it up and take the wheel off.

Providing the pistons aren't seized

But yes, piece of piss to do, think I'm still running 14 year old OEM pads in mine with no problem.

Not at all, any motor factors or even halfords will stock it, I bought a big tub a few years ago for less than a tenner and i've not made a dent on it yet!

sorry but have to disagree - on 4wd and RWD performance cars the rears do a lot more than people believe and you would benefit from having at least "matched" material spec all round, they dont see the same temp extremes as the front but this is not the same thing

we stock all manner of pads from OEM through to full race and happy to advise on your exact requirements

Have performance friction PFC-08 pads supplied by Alyn on my rear brembos with pagid discs, bloody superb. They squeak a fair bit but i'm not sure if thats the pads or discs, but work very well
