Thanks for the heads-up...keen to hear what these are as soon as you get the info.
JPC:
ive got the ferodo pads with my r32 front brakes.
in my book stock pads are very dusty, the ferodos aren't so.
Now i bought the car, 0 miles then put the r32 brakes and ferodo pads on within 20 or so miles. I havent run r32 brakes with stock pads, so i couldnt properly comment on dust with this.
But, i would say, i dont have a dust problem with my set up!
and they stop incredibly!!
put it this way....ive been driving a C63 all afternoon with mahoosive brakes (stock pads i would guess) and the brakes on that felt nowhere near as sharp, and im not romancing!!

Where do you recommend to get these "magical" Ferodo brake pads from?
luca:
how much were the pads jay?
Did you get rear pads too?
JPC:
nah didnt buy the rears because ive not got the r32 rear brakes fitted yet.
there painted, just not fitted! haha!
and the fronts were about 135 from balancemotorsport.co.uk
