When people say standards are rubbish they all seem to be comparing knackered brakes to new brakes. Standards are fine, even the cheapies from a motor factors. If its a nice bite and sharp, consistent feel you want then just buy ferrodo, pagid or Brembo O/E's
Clearly they wont do trackdays but then no pad under £100 will be happy with trackday temperatures.... and on a 1.2 I doubt that is a consideration?
