Those are the pads you want, They are normally between £100-£120 for the front's.
Those disc's have got a lot of groves in them so I would imagine they would eat your pads pretty quickly,
What car has your mate got ???
I had Red stuff's on my LCR and they were not good, the DS2500 sre much better hot and cold.

 

[mr.leatherday]

hes got a 05 lcr same as me and his has yellow stuff pads and ebc groved disks. so do you think im better off with normal disks? also the how to is the back prity much the same or easyer? many thanks martin

yep, uber good hot cold... different league to wooden feeling, disk wearing yellows

I'm running standerd Brembo disc's with DS2500 pads and they are very good, I got my Brembo's cheap so it depends how much you are willing to pay for them.
You will need a caliper winder for the rears

 

[mr.leatherday]

ive got brembo disks on at the mo and there fine i just thought the groved ones were better.

 

[D.K]

Na stick with the disc's you have and put in the DS2500.

 

[mr.leatherday]

if i do front do i need to do the back? sorry about the 101 questions mate and is there any where cheap for them?

 

[D.K]

If the back dont need changeing then leave them.
You'll pay about £100-£120 for them, I'm sure Badger Bill will be back with some prices for you.

I was told that if you are going to fit EBC yellow stuff pads you need to do front and back at the same time??? Something to do with how differentthe compound is to standard/street pads!

Anyhow I blew them out and got EBC Ultimax discs and DS2500 pads. Great combo, really pleased with them. Apart from the smoking i got initially from the painted coating wearing off

Done about 350 miles now and they are really starting to bite nicely.

Id go fore these mate, took me about 3 hours to fit (fronts).


Cheers

Lee
