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

Audi want near on £500 to replace the fronts and I figure there must be some decent alternatives on the market for the same as / less than that? (Hopefully!).

Used to fit ferodo ds2500 to the b7 they are very good

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.
