I know this is probably already a thread here somewhere but im gonna ask anyway.

What are some awesome brake pads for my 08 spec b wagon?
I dont mind spending good coin for good pads. I know that I should just upgrade my whole braking system but I just havent got the money at the moment.

Cheers

A1RM are good at stopping but they are dusty and noisy. Cheap as well.

I like them but I dust and noise don't bother me.

Hawk Ceramics are apparently a good low dust option, Dixcel Type M are another people rave about. I haven't used them personally though.

I've read Project Mu ones are pretty good dust wise.

Project Mu club racer pads are very good, can get noisy sometimes, depends on the operator. Use them in the forester that has finished in the top three of the Australasian Safari outright (trophy trucks and v8 hiluxs etc) feel good on the foot and stop really well.

Hi D

The Project Mu Club Racer are noisy but damn can they pull you up!
My mate was surprised when we did a 100mph brake test on private road, wagon stands on its nose!
