I've ferodos on the front and can't complain.

Have a look on Camskill's website, they often have reviews of products and they carry a good range.

I have EBC standard pads on the front - they're good but very dusty... Will be replacing them with greenstuff soon.. Already purchased just waiting for a weekend with good weather so I can fit them :-)

i got them from funkystyling now (JDM) about a year ago, think i paid £200stg for the black diamond drilled and grooved discs (front pair), the pads were about £35 or £38 per pair
