Ferodo DS2500's IMO. Very good pad especially when warm.

I've seen somewhere (either here or AudiSRS) that you can now get a full set of pads for £85, but can't remember what they are or where people were getting them. They seemed to be getting some positive feedback though.

I think they were Hawk pads?

I got some for sale on ebay for £85 sold quite a few sets so may be mine. I think they are perfectly good and run them on my rs4. No doubt Ferrado are better but clearly more expensive.

I can vouch for DS2500`s! they are fantasic pads and just get better the hotter they become

I just picked up a full front set of DS2500 pads for B7 RS4 calipers for $312 US. They get a good review

QH, british made and pretty good in my opinion, but as i have said they are unlikely to match the Feredo pads.
