after some advice on my brakes, they are due a new set of pads soon, however i thought i would treat it to some rather sexy grooved dics, which i have seen at "envy", but i am baffled as to what pad to get.
the ebc ones are nearly half the price of the others, is there a rather obvious reason for this? also i dont want to have to drive a couple of miles before its possible to brake? Does anyone have any reccomendations? (i cant afford a massive upgrade kit!)

Dont the Redstuff ones take a while to heat up?

I've got the Greenstuff on the MRT. I think since they switched to a new compund they got a lot better.

Im happy enough with mine anyway.

possibly a divy question, but would i get mintex pads from, and would they work well with some flash discs?

Should work fine with new discs.
The 'budget' pads are prob cheaper than OE pads,better stopping too.There is a dealer locator on their main page.The quickest way to find a local dealer is to click on catalogue page & fill in the drop down boxes.

The racing pads are prob what you want tho.From the 'F' range,FR4's are prob best for fast road/occasional track use. Hope you find what you need.

I wouldn't go near greenstuffs with a bargepole to be honest.

I run TRDs on mine, and they're excellent.
