I've got the Black Diamond Predator brake pads fitted to the standard OEM discs. I rate them very highly! Almost no brake dust :wink:

Yeah iv gone for the 256mm drilled and grooved all around cos well i needed new ones all around so fort i better upgrade as my country road drive home is immense lol! Changed to normal preditor pads now as the ft pads only work well when hot, No need for them on road goin brakes as they dont run up to optimmum temp!

Would it be best to change the brake fluid and all that aswell u rekon?

my 280mm carriers only cost me £30 and they needed changing anyway so i upgraded and the ft pads work just as well cold the only difference is they withstand fade upto a lot higher temps than normal i did some research before i got them as i didnt want brakes that didnt work when cold lol i would suggest changing your brake fluid if it hasnt been done for a while (factory reccomended every 2yrs) or if its simple and cheap enough for you to do yourself no point paying loads for it to be done im sure you wont notice any difference unless you have air in the system

Yeh if it wasn't changed last service, change it. Every two years is my current bench mark.
