Default Focus RS owners- Brake pad information

For those of you on there who own a Focus RS, what good brake pads are there available for use on fast road and trackday (more so track day ) which won't run the risk of fading when the temp gets high


Or any other brake experts please

Basky - Cheers chap, Was thinking about the red stuff option, but they might be a wee bit hard for everyday use aswell

Nash - Do you have/know where to look for any technical information about the DS series pads (2500/3000), such as friction co-effiecient and friction stability (temps) etc etc?

Gracey have alook on Freodo[spl] website or there might be info on Raindbirbs web site.

I am sure they are the same caliper as on the DC5 integra and LCR so must be loads of choice out there for them.
