Question Brake Pads!

I've been flicking through the forums trying to find info on this. Any help appreciated guys.

It's time to change the pads in my 06STI.. Just wondering where/what pads to buy for best bang for your buck. The car is just a usual driven car on the street sees the track 1/2 times a year (very rare) I don't mind paying for quality at all! Especially being a mechanic I'm heavy on brakes.
So any advice would be great on what you recommend to buy and where from

Cheers guys!

Talk to GSL Ralliy sales / brakes direct, or wolf both are forum supporters.

Also Bendix ultimates may fit bill for you.

Cheers, I'm looking at the HC+.. Never heard a bad thing about them but unsure if they'll be noisy for a street driven ?

Haven't used them, but would have thought they are excessive for what you want to use them for and would fail the bang for buck requirement.

QFM A1RM if you want bang for buck. They are also overkill for street, but you said you liked your shit heavy.

There is a new brake pad thread every week it seems....

HC+ and QFM A1RM is wank for the street.

I use HC+, $280 fitted and BEDDED in from Mao! No issues at all, squeeze a little when cold.
