I've never been very impressed with the performance of the stock brakes since I bought the car and a couple of friends who have driven it have said it's bordering on dangerous since I had it mapped etc!
So after reading a few posts on here, I decided to install the Pagid RS29 (yellow) pads. I can honestly say that the differece vs. stock is HUGE. The brakes now bite much more aggressively even from cold and car now stops with no drama over and over again. I don't track it at the moment but there was no fade or vibration even under very heavy road use
Only slight annoyance is that they seem to sqeual under light braking when hot and I also have a very light scraping noise which can be heard when the windows are down and which seems to be worse when turning left. Seems to be coming from the front passenger wheel :?
The discs have a few 1,000 miles on them already so I'm hoping both these issues will get better over time as the pads wear in.
