Currently tracking a 1995 Mr2 Gt. I have tried different pads Mintex etc, but they only last for one or two trackdays. Can anybody recommend a good pad for trackdays. I heard Pagid are good, anybody tried them?

Can't find anywhere which lists Pagids for a Rev3 Mk2. I use Carbotechs. Not cheap but superbly effective. The only downside is they produce quite a lot of dust which means frequent wheel cleaning. For a dedicated track car you might want to upgrade to these.

EBC Redstuff got my Impreza round 11 laps of the Ring with barely any visible wear so I'd suggest trying those. That said, I wouldn't recommend them for road use.

This car is used on the road as well, so we were thinking yellow stuff?

Can't say I've tried them. Out of interest, have you tried OEM pads?

I tried Mintex, but they dident last. I never tried genuine pads, usually Toyota stuff is very good.

I am thoroughly impressed with the Ferodo DS2500s in my 350Z, great on road and track.

Only thing was they were VERY squeally when they were new (a bit of a Brembo equipped 350Z trait anyway), and still are a little bit at times, but it doesn't bother me.
