Cheap discs and M1144 pads for road and DS2500s for track.

1144 or 1155's
carbon loraine (spelling) CL5+'s
PFB97's or 00's

Plain pikey discs in all cases (When I say plain I mean vented too, but not grooved or drilled)
All depends on your budget

Mintex can be got from any decent motorfactors, just ask them to order the pads with 1144 or 1155 as the suffix (the 55's will last about 3 times longer than the 44's but be a little less responsive initially, but still better than oem spec pads)

as for the others, no idea lol could try questmead but they get a bit shirty with individuals buying stuff

I find the main issue with pads like this is stock levels and lead times from shipping/ordering in

Think RallyDesign are a good stockist for Mintex.

I run mintex 1144's with cheapish grooved discs on mine and they work brilliantly on track and road.

I'm running black diamond grooved discs & predator pads... No complaints so far.
Good on road and track...
