Planning to fit the NQSBBK next week, I've binned the pads that came in the calipers I got and am looking for replacements.

I've looked through the threads but I'm intrerested to know what folk think of the Brembo HP Sport and the Ferodo DS Performance (look to not be confused with DS2500 or DS3000) - a bit more road friendly I think.

Or should I just go for OE Textar stuff from ECP at about half the price? Rob W8 has also recommended the Mintex 1144 as well.

Fluid - I am not planning on doing a full flush, but apart from the increased boiling point, is there an advantage to using Dot 5.1 over the standard stuff?

Cheers

I am also keen to know if anyone has used Ferodo DS Performance pads rather than the more expensive DS2500 and what they thought of them ?

I see that Awesome sell them at around £118.00 for the fronts.

If youre going to mix brake fluids watch out for compatability issues. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Brake_fluid
