Got these in the 4.5 and are a vast improvement on standard, down side is the brake dust and a little squeel on soft braking.

I seem to recall reading on the Lotus forums that the pads tend to break quite a lot...

I use the EBC redstuff pads. Work great, just a little squeaky when braking. Ans less brake dust.

Best pads around are Carbotec pads apart from if you have carbon ceramics. far better than Ferodo DS2500's but the downside is they squeak/make a bit of dust cost around 400 quid and discs dont last as long depending on compound
