Just a word of notice Hodroyd, they require quite a bit of fettling....ie....filing!!!!

Forget filing, get an angle grinder! I have filed two sets of pads, until i disgnosed caliper issues. Never again!

Can attest to the pagid being both excellent and ruibously expensive. They are OEM on 3200 AC.
Hear mixed reports on EBC redstuff.
Green gripper are okay - still managed to hurt my brakes on trackday. Maybe it was the red mist though

OK food for thought. I think the PAGID fitted were the yello, can anyone confirm that? Shopping around they seem like around £200 per axle, so £400 per car if the are brilliant and last is maybe worth the cost.
We all get red mist from time to time, but if the car stops that's all we need, we don't need brake fade, or anything else, makes the lower cheeks pucker too much for me.

They are very good pads those 2500's I would go for them.
EBC RED, not for me. They don't work unless the brakes are stinking hot, track only I feel. The EBC GREENS were better for road use, but I would go for standard Ferrodos if I were doing it again, £35 an axle and as good as the OEM pads (which are Bremo/Ferrodo anyway)

All sound advice, so Ferodo is one to look at with a reasonable friction level. I assume that price is per axle? Quite a chunk of change more than the EBC, but still cheaper than the Pagid. Has anyone tried the other Ferodo version DS Performance, any ideas what they are like?

Deano, though the picture is of the disk, the description if of the pads? The part number ties up to the disks, but probably worth clarifying?

The OE on the AC were Pagid Pads, which are a fortune, but a friend of mine who uses them, says on road use they would last a long time, which may be cost effective long term. Mind you they are about 7 times more expensive than the Ferodo mentioned above, they do work exceptionally well, but will they last 7 times longer???

Mine were still fitted on the rear when i bought in 2006 @32k miles. Soon changed them though. no plans to fit them again, when normal pads are quick, easy and cheap to change.
