What pad sizing is on the rotors? I'd recommend Ferrodo DS2500, or DS1200s if you're not taking it to the track. GREAT pads, the 2500s are about $250 a set, the 1200s are about $120. DS1200s were good for 5 laps at Barbagallo, after that it was all over. Compare that to Bendix ultimates, which did one warm up, one hot lap, and then melted. Brake dust wasn't an issue on my car, so I'd assume they're pretty good.

You might have trouble sourcing pads, depending on the brand of your callipers and if they used a standard pad template (like a Brembo pad), or if they made their own up...
