Just looking for standard (no track use) front discs and pads. The price of these look good and KAM have always given me good service. Any other recommendations?

If you're not in a hurry, Autodoc will be cheaper for discs and pads.

This is good to hear! Do they produce much dust?

Definitely go for autodoc if you're not desperate for the bits, stick the parts in your basket and sit on it for a day or two until you get the 'items in your basket have been reduced' email

That's good to know. Ill be ordering a few bits then, and those pads you mentioned are also on Autodoc.

Cant remember being honest. Probably a fair bit, you wont get away from dust if the pad works.

Any pad with a GG friction rating will be good on the road. I used the ATE ones on AUTODOC for a fair few trackdays and they were fine for 20 min sessions, no fade and good pedal. They were an excellent road pad!
I've found brembo discs are about the best. I use the cheap Brembos without the additional bell venting on my track car and they work fine.
Also if you've got a cup it is worth checking the rear brake compensator. I've just replaced mine and it made a massive difference. I couldn't believe how much more powerful and balanced the brakes felt after.

Rear brakes have new pads and refurbed calipers along with new handbrake cables and compensator checked. I could feel the difference as soon as this work was done.

Had Brembo discs up front on my last overhaul. Standard OEM ones on the rear.
Found that the Brembos tend not to get much in the way of surface rust when the car has been parked after rain also.
