pad upgrade advice for bugeye
Recently I had my bugeye PPP'd and while the standard brakes are ok'ish, I still would like smth better. I have service booked for Monday, and I think pads must be changed anyway, as I hear them crying at each braking.
I was reading around and seems that Ferodo or Pagid pads with the standard disk is the general advice. So this is it or I have other options ?
Also, using Pagid or Ferodo pads, wouldn't that reduce the life of my disks ?
I'd appreciate any advice.

Just fitted Pagid 4.2.1s to mine. Impressed so far. Good low speed nite, no squeeling. Not had a chance to use them in anger yet, but they are highly thought off on here as very good performers.

Cheers for the answers.
I am definitively looking for better ones, as yesterday during my car being serviced, I have seen this: the mechanic took off all the pads, and they have still quite some thickness, so they are still good to go. BUT the problem with my squeeks is different. The front pads, on both sides especially on the left looks very bad, as they are missing small pieces from the pads, on the side-edges. Looks like it is broken or smth. When I mentioned that I am quite dissapointed with the quality, he said that it is due to overheating, so maybe I pressed it a few times really hard.
Well, never been on track and never abused the brakes, I use intensively engine braking. So I do find this strange. The pads in the back look almost like new.
So I'm looking for better ones, more heat-standing preferably, but want at least the same brakeing performance I had before. Also I woudn't like to damage my disks.
So the DS2500's seems to be the choice; Did you use them with the std disk ? Did it reduce the disks life ?
Thanks a lot,
