Ferodo DS Performance, also fine for normal driving when pads are cold.

Carbon Lorraine's are popular amongst the regular TD community, although I gather they are on the aggresive side re disk wear.

Like above, I vote for the Ferodo DS2500 in the racer and the Cerb.

EBC Yellow for me, never managed to fade them yet, no sqealing and also work reasonably well when cold.

I found a big difference in stopping power when I switched from the DS2500 to carbon Lorraine's RC5, and then another level when I went to the RC6. The RC6 compound is aggresive regards disk wear, but the RC5 or RC5+ are not so bad.

Mine squeeled with the DS2500 or Carbon Lorraine's.

Nope...no squeal on either car with the DS2500's.

The pads that came with on the racer tho when I bought it....flippin eck, did they ever, and were almost useless when cold.

It looks like the Carbone Lorraines could be my best option then, thanks for everyones input.
