The new orangestuff are proving better for harder drivers than the NDX pads , they are the same price , or for an awesome pad on track , the Ferodo DS3000's , I use these in my rally cars and they are very good , but chew discs up , and are not kind to wheels !

personally none of the above (depending on "how" aggressive you are on track)...........

one of the later Performance Friction materials or good old Pagid race compounds take a lot of beating IMO

If so orangestuff sounds OK but what about PAGID RS29 or something like that?

When you say chew discs up...how long will the discs lasts if vast majority of miles are made on high way and city driving?It cant be that ds3000 are that harsh or am i wrong?The discs are new...400miles on them..

Using DS3000's on the road , you could go through discs in a couple of thousand miles , on my clio rally car I have just gone through a set of discs in 300 competive miles !!

But the discs I use are only 294mm x 24mm so they do get worked very hard.

Those who have gone from Bluestuff to Orangestuff have notice a big increase in performance , fairplay to EBC they are working hard in making up some compounds to compete with the best

The RS29's are a very good pad , quite a few GTR owners use these pads to very good effect , we are also a dealer for Pagid so when I get a spare moment i'll PM you over different pads and prices for you to look over

Cheers Ian

Then i will definitely not go for DS3000...Orangestuff, RS29 and some other pads that you think are in that performance range and that could be used for DD are OK and when you have some time send me PM with the prices. I would also need better new rear discs to replace OEM ones since they are now worn after 80 000km, new brake pads for stock brembo calipers ( 08 STI ) and since i am changing all of that maybe some batter rear brake lines would be OK too...

Kind regards
