    Default GT4 twin spot brake pads

    hi, i have gt4 twin spot callipers but i cant seem to find mild racing/street suitable pads. Any suggestions?

    Ive tried looking for EBC(green) but they only have them in red to suit
    Ferodo DS2500 need to be custom cut which i got quoted would be around $500
    and bendix ultimate doesnt do anything for them as well.

    any other recomendations would be great. Thanks

    i'm pretty sure they are a very close match to a certain model WRX - mid to late 90s from memory. I have a set on my car but havent looked for any sports grade pads for them yet. Good luck

    Bendix Metal Kings Plus are the word, ive got them on mine...excellent performance, they wear a tad quick though...are dusty as, and a bit noisy, they make them for both the abs and non abs twin spot calliper (yes they were different..unfortunately), although they are no longer making them, there are 72 pairs of the abs ones left in stock, not sure howmany of the non abs, id say quite a few more....just ask the brake place to call bendix, or whoever theyre suppliers are and find out, koz the place i went to had nothing to suite listed on the systems, but when they called theyre suppliers i found out that there are actually quite a few options.

    bendix metal king is what i've got. Haven't tried them on a track day yet. They are great for day to day and feel like they would be good for track.

    One problem is that i herd that they aren't making the metal kings anymore. They've been replaced with 'titanium strip'. Someone out there should be able to confirm this or defunk this rumour.
