Hi mate,

Depends on what you are going to use ot for, just road or track use?

i have black diamonds which i got from Shy auto, they were very good on track last saturday and they are good for road use too...

Cheers

Donato

I\'d second Donato\'s comments - Black diamonds are well regarded by many folks and were good on my last FD. - not sure what I got with the new one but they seem to work well.

Have black diamond rotors and pads on here, but rear rotors are out of stock with black diamond for another 4-6 weeks.
Also have Hawk pads on here also.
