New Brake Pads/discs

[toffee_pie]

Guys,

I am going to take off these OEM pads, the amount of dust and %$$*# coming from them is nothing short of a scandal. My 'new' alloys are but grime now a week later.

What are the best combo of pads and discs to put on? I can change both as I think they are due a change on all 4 wheels.

I am open to grooved/slotted etc discs too so whatever is the recommended.

cheers.

I'm quite happy with EBC Redstuff pads and slotted rotors on the front. They still produce a lot of dust (much less than OEM) but seem to be a lot harder wearing. The premium rotors are barely touched after 15k miles of urban driving. The OEM rotors would be completely dead after 1 set of OEM pads (about 30k miles).

The EBC rotors are a lot more expensive, but I reckon I'll get 2 sets of pads out of them, compared to 1 set of pads with OEM.

In terms of the back, I'd probably just use a mid-range disc like a Pagid, and a cheap aftermarket pad (e.g. EBC ultimax). I have got a set of rear EBC redstuff in my parts box, but I'm not sure they were a particularly sensible purchase.
