ebc grooved and drilled and yellow stuff pads. there very good and they get abused a little and there is no sign of wear, been on my car for 3 years, if your not wanting to go down the bigger calliper route

im using tarox pads and std size grooved discs, very satisfied. think the std 2wd works very well, i might change to bigger in the future but mostly because it looks cool

mine has never faded and the pedal is stiff like a young mans c*** i do have racing fluid and steelbraided lines aswell. had it on trackdays and done some 120mph+ heavy braking without loosing confidence. as long as the bits are fresh they work great IMO. ofcourse, bigger brakes wont make it worse though
