Default Replacement brakes

Need a new set of disks and pads for the car soon.

Anyone got any reviews/recommendations for replacements?

Ferodo DS2500 pads, discs from brakes international as per red s2000's link. I've had OEM's, cheap OEM 'quality' replacements, Porterfeild R4S, and the ferodos and the ferodos are by far the best for brake feel and stopping ability. They just don't fade, work from cold and aren't any more dusty than any of the others i've tried. Only down side is that they are a bit harder on discs than other pads.

I'm interested in investigating what the best thing to do is in terms of brakes.
I don't track my car but I still want equal or better brakes than the current OEM ones on mine.
With the current exchange rate, Hardtopguy must be an option at $80 per disc - that's

Only reason I'm not going for OEM brakes is my falling out with HUK. Dn't really want to go with anything they get their grubby little mits on
