Which ever is cheaper!
It'll make no difference performance!
The higher the performance of a pad means the hotter it can run and still be useful!
But also the higher the performance makes more brake dust, squeels and don't work as well from cold!
your local autofactors will have Epex ones for feck all! that's what I would use!

As roughly 20% braking is done through the rear brakes i wouldn't advise use watever...
ebc redstuff would be budget wise a correct and good choice..

All,
DO NOT GET RED STUFF PADS...!
Easily the worst pads I ever put on any car, the dust off them is UNREAL and I wouldnt mind that if they were good at the auld braking but they are rubish. Also I have done hardly 10000km on them and Im nearly sure they are nearly finished!!
After my experience with red stuff pads Ill be staying well clear and advise anybody else to do the same, unless you like cleaning whhels every day or replacing pads 2 a year at a cost of approx 230 for front pair!
Regards
Paddy

230 for the the fronts only? seems very expensive. pricing around last few days and seem them for anything between 85-100 for redstuff. I have mintex pads on at the moment and they are terrible for dust. Hence the steel gray Rota's to hide the dust!

Have to agree with you there Mark. I've saved a fortune by buying from uk. ITs rediculous that you can buy a part 4 or 5 hundred miles away and get it shipped to your door cheaper than buying local. Whats wrong with this country? Not getting into a debate about it though, just voicing an opinion. .............
