Front brake pad recommendations

[johnni]

Hey all, it's time for me to replace my front brake pads for my 08 ve and unsure which pads to go as theres many options out there.

I only use the car as a daily and will be using my standard rotors and looking for a brake pad with a bit grab than standard oem pads.

I had a chat to brake direct and they recommended the forza fp3 pads for $179 or the DBA street performance pads which sparebox have a sale for $88.

Has anyone tried the two above pads and how do they stack up? Or any other pads anyone can recommend me to try?

Ebc also do an ultimax pad which is pretty decently priced and has good bite, ebc is well known for quality

Contacted one place today in Sunshine and quoted me $250 trade price for the yellow stuff. Is that the average price of these pads?
