I think my car has EBC Discs on the front, I'd rather it had milk bottle tops to be quite frank. They were fairly new when I bought the car and I think I may have warped them already. It's got good pads on it, but I may as well change them too if I'm going to have the bakes apart.
SO.
Which Discs would you recommend? Ferodo? Pagid? or other?
Which Pads? Carbon Llorain? Mintex? Ferodo? or other?
Ideas comments, greatly apreciated.

Ferodo DS2500 pads are good have them on my type R. Go well with my Brembos. Performance Friction discs are supposed to be OK. Never used them TBH.

pagid and ferodo are the same compamy just different trading name I've got ebc drilled and groved discs and redstuff pads front and rear on my 2000 legacy and they stop so hard your internal organs nearly leave your body never had a problem with fade either only critism I have is you have to get them up to temp to get full effect so the first couple of corners can be a bit dicey still better than standard mind!!

I run Pagid blacks on the front of mine and DS2500 on the rear (as you cant get the DS2500 for the fronts to fit my calipers).
I had DS2500 on my bugeye sti and they where very good. Like Phils says the Pagids seem to give alot of dust of.
The pagid blacks do need warming up first thing on a morning, I have had a couple of times when you think this is not going to stop then they bit hard and your nearly through the windscreen.
