Hi mate , pagid do the RS29 which are awesome but the ferrodo DS300 work well on the road , the Jetstream Alcon fron disc upgrade makes a big difference too !!!
You can get everything from Jetstream .

Jetstream mock me for my continued raving about my brake pads, but I can't recommend Carbotech XP8s enough.

Tyres and engine fade before my brakes ever do and the feel is good but slightly soft pedal but worth it for the outright performance.

BUT, my god do they squeak. ALL the time.

Also running 2500s sounds like a giant mouse at low speed !!

mine never squeal either.... run the jetstream floating disc and I think DS3000 pads... i wanted something softer than the RS29's to have more feel on the road.

must say I've found this setup absolutely awesome on track, can't recommend the upgraded discs enough.

The discs and bells are around £1k... which is £500 more than stock as you already have bells on the car and thus wouldnt need to buy these lol.
The pads I run are around £250 for front and rear.... mine never squeal even on track smile

If you need front discs and pads this conversion is worth doing as it will genuinely improve the cars braking.
