I assume you mean pads. There are plenty of suppliers here in the Uk and sourcing these should not be a problem. Try a search on here, or contact some of the advertisers. As to fitting they are straightforward to fit, same as any other pads; maybe an hour or so.

Nice car BTW.

As easy to fit as any other pad. Just as well as 3 weeks later they'll be worn out and you'll be changing them again. Don't do it.

I found the redstuff worked well to start and got progressively worse until I didn't know if I'd stop at all, not a pad that I'd recommend

I had Ceramic Reds and found them to be fine for my style of driving - which to be honest doesn't involve a lot of time spent braking. I still had loads of meat left on the pad with over 20k miles

EBC pads are terrible! Avoid them at all costs.

Well, i have been doing some read-ups on them and the reviews vary, i was thinking of using the Red GD Series, i use my car for Time attack / dexterity mostly, so from time to time it will endure heavy braking, the makers recommend these pads for anything with over 200bhp. So what do you guys think?

I can get you a 20% discount on EBC pads through my Northloop web site / forum.

As with all things you get what you pay for. I have used EBC yellows in both my track cars, infact I still have them in. They offer good value for money and longevity as far as i'm concerned. Not the best, but then nor are they anywhere near the most expensive
