The street pads are similar to Ferodo DS2500 compound I believe. Not amazing but if your not going on track??
We stock the Ferodo DS2500's @ £235 delivered! not as bad as you would think

We recommend changing the discs at the same time. DBA and Ferodo combination seem to work well. It is extremely rare to get DS2500 pads to squeal. They are a great road pad.
I put them on recently they are better than stock, but my stock were down to about 20% when i changed them. I dont think new vs new there is much in it against stock, they are cheaper though, squeal less and so far seem to produce less brake dust. I think the next time i will go Alcon BBK, i really want to have the feel of monster stopping power and just changing the pads arent giving me a night and day difference.
However, if you are just looking to replace the stock items, they are very good for the price.

I don't want to sound like a parrot, and I've posted this a few times now, so don't worry traders, this will (probably) be the last time!
If you want a set of competent pads at less than half the normal inflated prices, then Bendix are around £180 for front and rears, that's an all round set for less than just the fronts at Cosworth or Ferrodo prices, and they're the so called cheap ones. Don't be put of because they're less expensive, the others are just way over priced. If you're not going to track your car then paying more for all the other expensive options is totally pointless. I've been running Bendix front and rear for the last 6,000 miles ish, fast road use only, and I can't fault them. They are totally silent and brake very well from extremely illegal speeds. The only difference between them and stock is that stock tend to squeal, Bendix don't.
After chatting with the supplier, I got him interested in trying to source some discs at a sensible price too. The NHPC disc prices are in Alice in Wonderland territory. The after market discs are half that price but still waaay over priced. No offence to traders, they obviously want to make as much profit as the market will sustain and I don't blame them for trying.

I'm still on the original discs. They're due for changing though, which is going to hurt as at the moment there are still no sensibly priced discs on the market, lol.
I had an email from the Bendix supplier a month ago, and he is actively looking for a disc supplier, but hasn't got there yet.
My previous car was an SL55 AMG, huge discs, 8 pot calipers, 4 pads per caliper, but I could still buy a pair of new front discs for £100. No they probably wouldn't have been any good on track, but I don't do track days, they were great for fast road use though. GT-R disc prices are simply crazy at the moment!

Yes, they are as good performance wise as stock, and better noise wise, mine haven't squealed once, which used to a bit embarrassing with the stock pads, ha
