Ferodo Premier pads are the low cost option.

The age old question!

Look on ebay, I got OEM front pads for £200, I didn't need them at the time I just knew that was a good deal so snapped them up. Other than that I wouldn't put any of the really cheap options that seam to pop up when you search for them.... 400hp car? Make sure it stops.

Ive just got a set of yellow stuff pads direct from EBC for 197 quid..... not cheap cheap but cheaper than OEM supplied!

They are superb too.... grab like f*** from cold. Happy so far anyway!

Ferodo DS2500 £204 delivered

Any of the above are good - I settled on yellow stuff in the end but was tracking the car.

Ferodo premier at £80 for a front axle set is very good value and perfectly fine for road only use.

I just bought some Carbotech XP10s for 245 quid via my sister in Sweden.

Very cheap for properly proper brake pads, though the ones I bought are rather aggressive (I intend a bit of tracking in July)

Once you've tried the track pads from Pagid or Carbotech everything else feels a bit meh...even on the street. Any pad will slow you down. Some are low dust. But if you've only ever tried OEM or EBC you've never experienced real "bite"

Were can I get the fredeo premiers from Ross?

[SamRs4]

Harris what make are the ones got from Ecp and can you still get paigid pads and are they any good?

These are categorically the worst pads you can use. Will transfer material to the disc / clog the holes, and are soft as <beep>. Honestly - please stay away.

I got front and rears from GSF for about £150. They seem pretty good for normal road use.

the part number to Google is FDB4165.

I vaguely remember paying under £100 for a set of 8 but a quick Google seems to show them as a little more - iirc I actually got mine from ebay, but MRC can also get them if you're in a bind.

Ive not had any problems ? infact there better than the ones that were on it when I got the car ? Complete with sensors etc . Ferodo are better by far but price + no sensors put me off .

Yes these are the ones to avoid. I bought a set - almost cost me a set of discs. I ended up getting the discs skimmed to repair the damage these pads did.
