Performance Friction mate. Give Scoodyclinic or Mark @ lateral a bell. :drive:

:agreed: 100%

I'll be getting perfomance Friction next time without a doubt.

I've got "red stuff" at the moment, they are ok, but not a patch on PF!

Don't even go there mate, I had a right mare finding out what wheels would fit over the darn things. I've been informed that the STi 7 wheels have the right clearance. The fact I bought the calipers and wheels of the same guy who was gonna put them on his hawkeye project alays any fears of them not fitting either ;)

Anyhow, anyone got some Brembo 4 pots that knows the answer without me having to ring round places?

Yep, the STI 7 wheels will be fine for the Brembos :)

The Performance Friction stuff is awesome but expensive.... the pic on this page shows the pad sizes: http://www.scoobyparts.co.uk/acatalo...S_-_FRONT.html

(PP430 is the brembo pad, but i'm not recommending black diamond stuff!)

Thanks Steve :doubleup: Is that PP430 a Brembo part number then or a Black Diamond part number....I'm confused, which, lets face it, ain't dificult!

So, Performance Friction are a definate yes but expensive. I found these on eBay which are PF pads but who knows what discs although a fair price for them combined I thought :)

Black Diamond are a definate no no then!

So, either EBC Red Stuff, Brembo or PF are the way to go then??

I've heard too many people complain about Black Diamond discs - put me off their products completely. The PP430 is a black diamond part code only - just linked to it as it showed the pad sizes.

That ebay link is probably not bad for the price, considering your looking at £500+ for just the PF discs....

Or just go with genuine brembo stuff? All depends on budget and type of use really. :)

Thanks again Steve and the rest of y'all. At least I know what sizes I need now :doubleup:
