Anyone got any suggestions for aftermarket replacement brake pads for wavy steels?

Re: Replacement brake pad help.
arent the pads for the wavy discs the same as the pads for the non wavy discs?
I have just paid 886 to have new pads and discs fitted to my rs5. I knocked the dealer down!

DIY
It really is a simple task, knock out the pins, lift off the metal plates, pull out old pads, grease the back of the new ones and fit plates and pins
Literally a 30mins task for both sides, including wheels off and on

I go to a trusted independent for brakes, tyres and other consumables and reckon I save around 30% over the main dealer. I have done this with Porsche, Astons and AMG's (all under warranty) for years with no problem at all and I insist on OEM parts.
