Depends on what type of driving you'll be doing and what you are after.

We sell Mintex, EBC, Ferodo, OEM and our Kevlar Pads for your model

another vote for DS2500, you get what you pay for really... yeah if you drive to the shops and back at 5mph then oem will last forever and yo will never reach the limits, if you want some performance something like the DS2500 should do the trick :-)

I always bought expensive pads for any car I drove,
Always paying over twice the price,
Last time I bought normal motor factor pads (resession) and I haven't yet reached they limits with plenty of fast road driving!
You will not notice any difference with performance pads, They will just get hotter before they fade!
Probably never get hot enough on the road!
Best of luck man!

.Reduced brake fade, I would suggest, is the main advantage of upgraded pads.I have had great experience with Ferodo DS2500 Very poor experience with EBC Redstuff

Yes, they're awesome

I found the Z compound good on the road and occasional track work.
