You won't find the most massive choice available TBH. I'd buy on price, if you can get them for £35-£40 delivered consider yourself lucky.

DS2500/DS3000 pads are good aye, but for a road car probably OTT and wont work as good as they can until warmed up, more suited for hard road use/track i'd say?

I'm using greenstuff of late and tbh they're a millin miles better than they used to be. They'll be fine with standard discs and have sharpened up the braking on my daily mondingo a fair bit

You can spend £100 on pads if you want, I just think that's a lot of money for a consumable.

Don't know what you can get for the brakes but Pagid RS29's are unbeatable!
