Default Brake disc and pad change time

It's time to do the brakes on the car, running 360bhp/torque. Car is a daily and does get a good blast round some b roads most weekends. I currently have ebc grooved discs and yellowstuff pads on the front and plain discs with pfc pads on the rear.

I've been looking at going ebc bluestuffndx but not tried them. Hoping to do a track day soon also.
any recommendations pad/disc combos front and rear?

Thanks

Wouldn’t recommend the Blue’s. Overheat much quicker than alternatives while being more expensive, inconsistent feel and wear very quickly. I’ve just taken them off the car after maybe 7000 miles and they’re totally spent. My car has less than half the power of yours too being an N/A Hawkeye. Previously used the Ferodo DS Performance pads which were much much better and cheaper.

old blues were good new are crap-eco friendly
ebc Rpx are very good like pagid rs29 but both very dusty
mine both sets of wheels are shot
dust form RPX stick to the alloys and even to tyres( not sure with tyres but could not clean them yesterday with brush) nothing helps to avoid that
have yellow tint on doors to
i hate racing pads due to that but love how car behave with them on
think i will put ds2500 again and swap rear brembos for some 4 pots

RPX also aren’t road legal if you care about that sort of thing.
