Expensive ... but the best I have used. Need to get some for the Griffith now ..... Got cheaper pads in at the moment which are alright, but the Pagid pads I had on the S they were superb .... better than those awful Green Stuff nonsense ..

Wouldn't suggest orange for road use. The box is marked up 'Not for road use' (auf Deutsch, of course)Go for something softer. If they are not used, they squeal!!!

Have a look at pagids site www.pagidusa.com/characteri.html

I've used yellows all day on my E30 M3 round the ring and had no problems (bled through with SRF). They've got a high firction coefficient from cold and don't have an agressive friction profile as the temp rises. i.e. get grabby when hot.

Try DS Engineering on 01322 387372 ask for Steve - this guy can supply them almost at cost.... Good luck

From recollection - they were around GBP150 per axle set (i.e. 4 pads for my calipers). They do get a tad warm though - do you have any ducting, or any way cool air can get to the area behind the front bumper - extra fog cut outs for example?
