Give the new bluestuff pads a try , they are very good , my son was on the track in castle Coombe yesterday and couldn't fade them , and the discs were a lovely shade of blue so they were seeing some serious heat , keep the discs you have until they are worn or cracked as drilled discs can end up doing to keep your costs down
I have these in stock for next day delivery
Cheers Ian

Bluestuff or Performance Friction would both work nicely.

Buy EBC Bluestuff Pads Online - You won't find them cheaper anywhere else

Buy Performance Friction Pads Online

Of the two, I would go for the Bluestuff compound.

Yes, links are for Brembo (Bluestuff one has drop down list and PF is Brembo only).

You will have to compromise a little on absolute cold braking performance in order to get a pad that can take some serious heat.

the omp ones i fitted, arnt the best when cold.
i first used them when i had 4 pots fitted, they seemed good. but know i have 340/340 they dont seem to cut it.

so, time to find a better replacment.
alittle tight at the mo, but with in the next month or so, after some bushes that need replacing, the pads will be gotten. dont supose you do bushes do you mate

im after the diff suppot ones, the one that fit to the sides of the car, there like a disk shape, the main bush seem ok, a little flexy but no real ware. and im after the one that fits to the top of the rear shocks.

I`ve recently bought a pair of Godspeed grooved discs with Performance Friction pads from Ian on here. Very good price and very good performance. Can`t go wrong for the money

I have Carbotech XP8 pads in my Subaru 4 pots. They are excellent!

Only thing is I have done a few trackdays now and have pretty much killed my Godspeed disks after around 6k miles!

The bigger Brembo disks should take the heat better.
