Brake pads.

Currently running ebc red stuff on the front of my r8 but they seem to suffer a bit from noise when braking.

Ideally want to replace them for something else, what's recommended?

I have stuck with standard pads that came with the car, found them to be fine and not to much wear on the discs and not any hassles

Are these the ones Mick? Confusing as not sure what brakes the r8 has?

Should be this one, if you're on stock VXR8 brakes.

Get some caliper pins too, and hope that whoever fitted the redstuff, greased the old pins before putting them in.

When I purchased the car it came with two sets of new pins, not sure why.

Get the AP Pads from Walkinshaw, they come with the pins and shims in the box, no added costs.

Do they fit the standard r8 calibers?

Yes, especially when Vauxhall Parts quoted me £690 for the same Pads through their network.
