Yep - Ferodo's all the way.
Avoid EBC of any flavour - I tried them years ago and they were bad - new improved EBC are even worse! Nastiest pads made ever. Should be banned from sale in the UK as they are positively dangerous.

DS2500 all the way..... I can't make mine fade, even spent a whole day on a trackday trying to make them fade. I had the paint on my alloys bubble and still no fade thats how hot they were getting!

high there , if you can do a search for a company called carbotech ,, they do pads for a wide range of cars , in the motorsport and track day division good range of pads for everyday driving or fast road , price are great and far better pads than stock or if im honest better than anyothers available for the same money ,
i owned an old evo 1 gsr ,i bought a set of these from him and they were top notch
i didnt need to change disks as the pad upgrade more than did the job
, its worth giving them a nod , he can also take an old set and make up a matching new set of his material he uses
,if theres enough interest he would do a group buy im sure , hth paul ,i know him from the mlr , as i formerly owned an evo 1 as said no other reason ,

thanks for the replies guys, ds2500's seem pretty expensive seen as im not going to do any track days or anything, i just want a bit of an upgrade for 'swift' road driving especially as ill be screaming down to le mans in the the summer 
. has anyone had any experience with black diamond predator pads? they seem to be quite a lot cheaper than ds2500's. i think i need a new front caliper too, the piston was seized and is badly pitted
