Ye i need something better than the OE ones as the car is not running standard power. So something that will last and stop the car properly.

Both "Godspeed" and "Aztec Performance" sell them and trade on here.
Think they may be about £140 but they will confirm.

I have always found the standard Brembo pads to be quite good. I have tried the black diamond pads which where slightly better but not by much, I would consider the Godspeed grooved discs with Kevlar pads combo if I was looking for increased braking performance on a budget.

The way you drive James i though you'd keep a batch of pads lol.
One year on your car & back to Nurburg!! They will probably last me a life time then lol.
Where can i get these pads from James?

Can I ask what was wrong with the kevlar pads?
Are you using Brembo calipers?
Cheers.

Long story but, my brakes used to be awesome. I changed the rear discs and pads and they suddenly went ****. I've had brakes bled, seals checked and come to the conclusion its the pad compound so when I decide which are best...I'll be changing and yes they are. Brembos.
At the end of the day....you get what you pay for in my opinion.
