Question

I know this has probably been done to death, but:

What choices are there to replace the standard pads on my '00 ?

I'm coming up to the 22.5K service, so I'll get them swopped then. I guess that's pretty good mileage for a set of pads, obviously I don't use the brakes much.....

I wouldn't mind improving the feel for road driving, but I don't want to be wearing discs out prematurely, any suggestions?

Cheers
Tim

Bit expensive but I'm running DS2000 pads all round on mine. They are about £140 for fronts and £80 for rears, I think. Only available at a dealers as they are a Prodrive upgrade. Better than the standard ones, but I also put AP racing fluid in and braided hoses which will have helped.

Other options are Mintex 1155's which are always a good bet if you don't mind them squealing when cold. Or Pagid blues which are supposed to be the best.

I thought you could get DS2000 anywhere? Demon Tweeks do the DS2500 and I'd swear blind TSL do all the Ferodo pads.
