will anyone recommend a vendor for soft front brake pads?

soft as in softer / faster wearing but creating more braking force for a guy that drives his subie up and down the road at ALTA and is not happy with his recently refurbished brakes. he wasn't happy before the brakes were redone either, so it's not a mechanical "screw-up" issue.

wagon + roof rack + ski box + people = heavy load for stock brakes to decellerate.

the car is driven ~ 6K a year so wear is not much of a concern.

 

thanks

soft pads doesn't necessarily mean better braking.

 

Check out Carbotech http://www.carbotecheng.com/

 

Call them and ask if they make the bobcats for your car. They are good all around performance pad. Nicer on rotors then some other pads out there.

 

I'm running mintex 1155's, and they're pretty much on par with the bobcats, however they're probably not quite as friendly to rotors.
