all depends on how hard and aggressive you are on the brakes??

the likes of the PFC z-rated pads take a lot of beating for value and performance but maybe not as refined as the slightly more expensive Brembo HP Sport??

options from Pagid, Mintex F-series, PFC race pads, etc. are also all worth considering but likely to be above what you require from your limited post

Kevlar pads are very popular for fast road use and very sensibly priced: http://www.superhids.co.uk/brakes/br...road-pads.html

Next step up would be PF Z Compound pads: http://www.superhids.co.uk/brakes/br...-compound.html

Wouldn't recommend EBC. Overpriced and inconsistent.

If you want a nice cheap reliable pad for everyday, just go to Europarts and get a set of Brembo fitment Pagids £27 fronts
