I've used Ferodo DS2500s in both my std Subaru 4 pots and now my AP 4 pots and I have to say they are amazing!

Another one is the DS3000 Ferodo Neil is useing them on his Evo & rates them over the DS2500. I use the DS2500 & ive used the PF padds both are very good. Take up Honkong's offer & see what you think.

Performance Friction are very good.

I have recently changed mine from the OE, to performance friction discs and pads, which are better in performance and worked out cheaper than to replace the worn out OE.

Performance frictions are great, but very dusty, and hard to get the dust off the wheels.

I have kevlar, and white wheels don't mix, dusty, but good. So looks like more cleaning.
