at the moment i have ferodo ds2500 pads but i am finding that they are not up to the job ie after 5 or 6 laps the pads seem to fade out and i start getting chronic brake judder and the hotter they get the worse it becomes any help appreciated cheers

if you dont mind the mess, i dont think you can beat carbon lorrains, ds3000 are getting good press, im using mintex fr2, but have not put them to the test yet

DS2500 are a trackday pad not a race pad really. DS3000 is the logical pad to try next if you have been mainly happy with the 2500 other than the heat buildup causing fade.

i have read somewhere that the ferodo ds series pads leave pad deposits on the discs and that is what causes the juddering is this true or complete bollocks ? was thinking of the carbone lorraines rc6 pads allround has anybody used these before ?

the mitsi boys rave on abot the CL pads.

no problems with mine using the ds3000 except for disc wear.

try the mintex 1166 or the f2's they work well in most things racing ! ferrodo and ebc will deposit badly in race conditions well tbh i wouldnt even put ebc's in a race car

Carbon Lorraines if you don't mind the mess...

BUT

Do NOT use them on the road in the wet and drive hard they are seriously hard and will kick the ABS in too much.

On my clio I suffered NO fade what so ever when I did my track days.... but they painted the car gold - it did come off but with a lot of elbow grease.

Edit to say that I would consider CL's dangerous for road applications having driven with them they're a lot to get used to PLUS they will do fuck all miles

Maybe you should look into availability of proper race pads such as:
Pagid RS
Ferodo DS1.11 & DS2.11
Hawk DTC30 & DTC70
etc
