Pic of the 277mm pads compared to the 315mm ones. A tad larger pad surface overall new, but the pad surface increases with wear due to the angled sides.

I'm about to be ordering some Hawk Ceramic pads for my car soon, if anyone else is interested let me know, spoke to supplier and they're happy to provide discounts in number as long as they are all Hawk pads (doesn't need to be the same part number). FYI Paul - I was quoted under $200 for a pair.

Hey everyone.
I am currently upgrading my BG5 Liberty with WRX 4pot calipers with the AVO big rotor upgrade (330mm sti rotors) and Im a bit unsure of what pad to run with. I was thinking of using EBC greenstuff pads but after reading the thread Im thinking of using Bendix Ultimates. The car wont be seeing track time anytime soon but will get the odd spirited drive. I am really just looking for something thats not going to squeal like crazy. Prices would be good to. Ive only come across one place that has the EBC greenstuff pads and they were asking for $250..
Any help will be greatly appreciated.

Cheers, Ryan.

if its not a track car then go QFM HP-X. Rated at 550deg around the bendix ultimate performance mark with less dust and easier on the rotors.

otherwise A1RM for a bit more serious pad (800 deg)

MY07 GT spec B
