I\'ve recently bought a Gen 3 R2 and I\'m not too excited about the brakes. They fade very quickly with any spirited fast road driving. Any suggestions for good alternative pads? Pagid, Endless, etc.???

Endless are supposed to be good but dont know anyone who could easily get you sorted with them.
EBC are rubbish, dont use them. Performance Friction were good at stopping, but really corrosive and loads of dirt from them. Also squealing at low speeds. Just got some Black Diamonds on now - only been there about a week but they seem ok so far. Havnt worked them however.

I\'m not too worried about cold performance. But would rather not not have them creating cloads of dust and screeching....I have a contact at Endless, so will probably give them a try - I\'ll let you know how they are.
