That is the pad I use on the race car. Not cheap though, £300 for my pads!

Yup, a couple of hundred for a set of front pads for the Legnum - but they do last me about 20k miles on the road, and I've not once had any issues with braking performance. Unlike when I first got the car, and it had standard pads... dear god that was frightening - the car accelerated quicker than it decelerated...

I think I'll give the ferrodos and blank discs a try first then . Where's best to get the pads from ? . Cheers for all your input guys

I use redstuff pads and they are fine. My breaking is superb. It does fade if I really push it very hard.

I'm putting redstuff pads on my new van.
