Brake pads
I need new brake pads all round so what do you guys recommend ??? Also where's the best place to get them from?
I have redstuff on there now (on the car when i bought it) but i hate the fact that you can see the red pads
Btw its on standard calipers

Ferodo DS2500 - I had a full set from a contact in work they are excellent pads. Most of the traders on here sell them - though you can't go wrong with Mike Rainbird, I have had quite a few things off him and he has never let me down & is willing to help out.
You would be better off changing the disks (pagid or similar)/ brake lines (goodridge) & fluid ( castrol SFR) - That lot will make a hell of a difference from the standard setup.

I don't use it very much - less than 2000 miles a year and a half! - I don't mind taking it out in the rain, I just don't do long distance and only use it on the weekend (now and again) the furtherst I have been is Castle Combe!

redstuff pads are utter shite - i have ferodo DS2000 all round at the mo and cant fault them but will go to DS2500 next - i only have these in cos they were cheap as an end of line product - i fitted goodrich braided lines and SRF at the same time as new discs and pads and refurbing my calipers. makes a fiar old difference over just std. i dont get any fade, (albeith fast road not tracks days)
