I had (have) Brembo pads and found them good, but just wanted to guage what else is out there to choose from

Driving/Use ..... When I do drive the car, I drive it it sits most of its life on the driveway to be honest.

I think as some have said it depends on your current discs and how you drive as to the best set up on the pad side of things.

I've heard really good feed back of these PF pads of late.

I too am thinking of changing my current pads EBC Yellow's) on my Brembo Sport discs (drilled).

Was one of three I was thinking.

Hi, what would you recommend for a good fast road brake pad - not tracking, but I want good first bite when its cold.
Thanks

I'd got for the PF road pads. I've run them for 40k miles (with PF discs) and they're only 1/2 worn (rear std pads are now dead).
They work immediately. not much dust and are great for fast road use.

Would that be PF's Z rated pads you use then?

Don't forget to check the inner pads mate.
I found that with 5 mm left on the outside, there was 1 mm left on the inner!
