We've used EBC yellow stuff and Hawk Blue.

Both worked very well. The hawk ones are better and last longer but all in the EBCs worked very pretty good and are extremely cheap.

I understand that Pagid are the best around if you can afford them

Duncan, we have tried most pads, all are good at stopping but their are other factors to think about, how long do they last, how does it effect wear on the discs, some go off the boil with plenty off meat left on, we now use pagids and wont go back to any other, a bit dearer but last longer with minumum wear, ask Scott he wears them down to a finger nail.

Hi Duncan, most of the top names are good, Pagid, Hawk Blue, Ferodo, etc, a lot of crews over here use Performance Friction 01.
Let me know if you need any more info.
