Bloody hell, there's a question!!

What car?
What year?
What wheels are you on?
What do you use the car for (track/fast road/pootling your Granny around town)?
What budget?

Im just about to order the Godspeed big brake kit, 335mm discs, using standard 4 pot calipers, as apparently they are more than good enough.

Bargain compared the the AP's apparently..

I have a MY00 and have run with DS2500s for quite a while [ 2nd set now ]. Pads make a major improvement - but I cracked the nearside front disc [ fast road driving not track ]. Got some new Pagid 8 Grooves on the front as replacements - needed them quick and not enough time to sort out new wheels [ I was running std 16'' wheels ] - but would definately go for the godspeed 335 kit now that they would fit !
Not impressed with the Pagids over OEM discs. Seem to have a lot of surface cracking.

Have just ordered some EBC Ceramic Reds from a co. called APW (01793 614040). Price inc. VAT and delivery was £168.01 for front and rears.

These pads have had great reviews on here recently.

Currently shopping round for front and rear discs. Am awaiting a price back from Godspeed as we speak.

I ran Black Diamond disks with Mintex 1155 & 1166 on 4 pot calipers, before the change to AP's

No problems on the road, and useable for trackdays as well. But to be honest the AP are miles better.
