Just a quick one, EBC have revised all there compounds for their brake pads. If you look on scoobynet there are quite a few reviews. I have just trial'd a full set of EBC Blue stuff pads on my Impreza. I must say they are very good.
Other pads I have used before include Black Diamond, Pagid Blue's and performance friction pads. So have a good basis to go on

Dont write of the new EBC stuff without trying them. They are good, Trust me!
