Default Brembo pad choice

Fitted some sti7 brembos to my classic, what are considered the best fast road/trackday pads for these? Any help appreciated, cheers!

Fitted Ferodo DS2500 to mine, what a difference, lots of brake dust though.

I've done the same and am looking at upgrading my pads soon as well.
Ferodo DS2500 are supposed to be very good but i've heard the best pads about at the moment are Pagid Blues (something like RS4-2's) or Mintex F series (F6's i think they were) but neither of them are cheap £170+. My local motorsport place puts them in rally cars, supposed to be very good even from cold (unlike EBC redstuff).

blues (RS4.2) are slightly harder than blacks (RS4-2-1). Depends how much and how hard the trackday use is. If its heavy would recommend the Pagid yellow (RS29). DS2500 arent as good as the 421s IMHO

Pagid's, no question, amazing, no fade (especially with braided hoses) - best get some grooved discs too if you are really committed driver...
