Brake pads EBC or OEM Subaru
I have the ebc greenstuff on my corrado and they are great, never dusty
Mitsubishi also claimed the same horsepower numbers were the same from the EVO VIII to the EVO IX and we saw how much of a half-truth that was. Mitsubishi always seems to err on the side of caution when it comes to performance claims.
I am personally a big fan of my EBC Redstuff pads.
I must say I am very happy with the bite and performance of the pads. Vast improvement over stock. Made more dust in the beginning, but now its fine.
The STi also stops hard. It turned in the shorter braking distance of the two cars, using just 114.5 feet of asphalt to haul down from 60 mph. Pedal feel is firm and progressive, and ABS operation is quiet and refined.
i've had ebc rotors and and green stuff pads for about a year... they are very nice.! U have to put 500 miles on them to break in the rotor as well, seeing it conditions it 1st... . The ebc set up has wokerd wonders for me... exalent bite and supreme pedal response.!
I have also used ebc green in the rear with good results but I am now on Porterfields.
Subarus in general are frickin' bulletproof. (WRX transmissions aside) I drove a Subaru Legacy 30th Anniversary Edition (2.5 liter, automatic...I think it's pretty similar to the '97 Legacy GT) and it was a surprisingly good drive...good handling and pretty good power...brakes were a bit sucky, though.
I've just installed ebc redstuff pads (I received this and rear green for the Passat) these days I haven't many time to use the car, but first test I noticed aren't noisy and not too bad at cold.
They chewed up my stock front rotors. But they needed to be changed anyway.
