Jeez Louise!
And you don't drive it much Mike?!? Hope you've managed to sell on the bits!
I think I'm going to see how a new set of OEM discs go unless anyone has a better idea. Slightly concerned that Ferodo pads according to their website aren't for road use. Are they simply a harder compound and not as responsive until warm?

You should feel an improvement with the feredo pads. Especially if your current setup is hammered.
Could try drilled or jhooked oem discs too.
Beyond that DaveB is your man for upgrades :happy2:

Its usually because they are too bitey. There is a legal limit on how snatchy pads can be believe it or not, its some EU bull as usual. EBC bluestuff pads had trouble getting EU approval on this ground but i believe they are now approved for road use.
I think it has to do with passenger comfort as if a pad has to much bite it can be uncomfortable for the passengers at low speeds.
