Still having a headache trying to decide on pads for my car, which is a mid spec GT 86 M/T that uses e smaller brakes.

Huge thanks to Jamal for the tip on the 08WRX. After a whole bunch of photographing and googling calipers I'm pretty sure that my car uses 08 WRX calipers and pads front and rear.

Problem is the iffy choice of pads available, especially rear pads.

My first choice would be Ferodo DS 2500s front and rear but can't find a full set available for sale online.

So I'm debating between:

- Ferodo DS 2500 fronts and Hawk HPS rears (a la Sam Strano)
- DS 2500 fronts and stock rears
- Hawk HP+ front and rear
- Sacrifice small animals or virgins in hopes of digging up a full set of Ferodos.

Carbotechs would be nice but I don't really want to skim my brand new rotors and shipping new ones in would be hella expensive given my location.

Mostly aggressive street driving but I do AutoX and these WILL see the track more than a few times in the coming months.

Any advice appreciated!
