Ferodo DSPF (used to be DS2000) are very good, DS2500 can suffer poor cold performance so only use them if your are a heavy braker or track regularly. Pagid Blue are superb. Mintex 1144 are OK but dirty. EBC are cr@p in my experience. Whilst your at it, treat yourself to some braided lines and DOT5.1 fluid.

Bit of a strange reason to want different pads.

Anyway I have used the DS2500's for nearly 5 years now and have never had a problem.
Good bite from cold more stopping power and a lot less fade than the standard pads I used to have.

Good price and next day del from somewhere like ASP
