Cheers m8, but my question really is more simple. I need to know where I can get pads to fit these calipers?

Hi-Spec themselves will tell you their distributors. If you have the part# of say the Ferodo DS2500 pads, then you can ask Ferodo for a list of their distributors.

Alternatively, contact Banshee Motorsport as they can supply the Hi-Spec kits.

i got hi-spec 4 pots, the pads are the same as AP 4 pot calipers
i did have a sqeeling problems with the mintex 1155 at first.
i prefer the pagid pads (RS-15), no sqeel, less brake dust, and perform better on track, if its just fast road road use then i'd recomend the rs42, better to speak to alyn, his prices are very good too

Chaz.... and all......

I had TERRIBLE problems with the green pads.. Twice I went back to Hi-spec with warped disc symptoms and had the discs re-finished. Both times I had greens on and were about 2/3 worn. The second time I was told by hi-spec that there had been problems with the compounds and they EBC had changed the compound. EBC apparently won't admit to a problem but some customers of Hi-spec in Holland had also got the same symptoms. Hi speed vibration which is worse under braking). I have had Ferrodo DS2500's on now and have not had a problem (I got them from Hi-spec for about £50)
