Bleed the brakes and use some standard pads.

Stock are more than good enough for 99% of people. People often don't realise how good they should be as stock and compaired race pads and fluid with old worn pads and fluid with air etc in it.

i have brembo hc front discs with brembo pads and genuine rear discs with ebc redstuff pads along with a fluid change and i think they are brilliant. unless you track you're car alot or drive like a posessed vicar standard would be fine.

I have standard Brembo discs and pads, more than good enough for me.

Standards OK if everything is working right. I instantly improved a lack of bite and long pedal feel on my 182's brakes a shortly after buying it by cleaning/freeing the pads and caliper moving parts and bleeding through new fluid. But it was only once I fitted new O/E brembo pads (including the metal plates) that the pedal and bite was how I'd expect. Can't fault them now (the pads that came out were half worn, but cracked, mintex 1144's)
