Better to go for Ferodo DS2500 or Hawk HPplus

Have you actually tried a set? I'd be surprised if a motor-sport parts giant such a omp company sold crappy products.

They're so cheap on ebay (<£30), its almost worth taking a risk and testing them....you can always throw them away if they are that bad. I'm not doing it though

i had a set of OMP and after 2 time's 160-80km they faded bigtime allready.
There cheap and perfect if you use the car to go to the shop and back.

But hey it's your car and money. So don't know how you use your car but i found them totally crap

Only need something to last 2-3 months untill i upgrade the discs and pads aswell. (Godspeed)

Will give them a try, don't want to spend £100 on a set to throw away after a few months

Cheers
