I went for DBA Wiperslot 4000 discs, Ferodo DS2500 pads, Braided hoses with DOT5.1fluid. £671 all in. The difference is massive. No fade, no noise, no warping. Fit under standard wheels too.

4 pots are good calipers but they aren't over servo'd like most cars, just nice and progressive so push harder!

Anyway this time round I've gone back to Pagid 4.2-1 blacks to go with my old DBA's.
Just put some 'better then standard' on the rears. Feels great but the old pads were shot

Had DS2500's all round before and have Goodridge lines as well

Although Ian (above) didn't say it as he is too modest I would go for his 335mm upgrade which gives you bigger discs, bigger pads and uses the original calipers. The discs are(were) also warranted for track days which most of the big boys won't do. £600 should also cover it... less my commission.
