JDM Spec B BP5 Tokico Track Brake Pads

[orangeaddikt]

Have a BP5 Legacy Spec B JDM with tokico calipers and 315mm discs, struggling to find some brake pads that might have a decent chance of surviving a track day. I have had a look on the UKlegacy forum and some parts websites but nothing conclusive. Most brake pads seem to be listed for the akebono calipers not tokico. Anyone have experience with this?

Does anyone know if these bluestuff will fit?

Alternatively, Cambridge motorsport do some Hawk pads, but again unclear on fitment

Any help much appreciated!

I'll try the specialist, thinking about taking a punt with Cambridge Motorsport as they seem to stock Hawk Pads and are pretty close to me (Hertfordshire based).

Trying2gofast- do you have a spec B as well? Taken me a while to gel with mine but overall enjoying it 👍 hopefully it will survive a track day!

Thanks everyone for the advice. Ended up getting some ebc bluestuff and threw these on the car yesterday, I have read pretty mixed reviews but won't be pushing too hard and they were a lot cheaper than going to a full race pad. Long term plan is to get something more suitable for regular track days the legacy was never intended for it really, just a spur of the moment booking with a mate.

Anyway, track day tomorrow so hopefully it'll be a decent day! Fingers crossed for some rain

Mid track day update, not successful to be honest. Brakes are cooked and discs warped, probably need at least a much better pad or ideally STI calipers and discs to be honest. Also managed to blow a hole in the exhaust it's still drivable but track time done for today. For the record car is mapped for vpower(no increase in power) , braided lines, upgraded fluid, ebc bluestuff, pink springs, RCM clutch/flywheel


Sorry to post this in the Subaru thread but I don't think these are really up for track work, at least not without mods. Going to sell this and buy a RS Meg/FK8/i30N/Fiesta ST (there a few here all holding up very well) tomorrow (only half sarcastic...)
