QFM A1RM and DBA T3 4000 served me well. Pads have 3mm remaining, rotors are at minimum on the front. Pads played chew chew, so machining of rotors ain't possible with this combo.

I changed my OEM ones to Forza FP3 pads, bite well and low dust. (From Brakes Direct)

1. Lots of pad choices which are better than OE but some of them produce lots of dust whereas the OE pads seem to be lower dust in comparison and tend to be quiet also. So depends on what you are after.
2. DBA T2 slotted rotors work very well and are good value for money. Check Brakes Direct current prices on DBA options.

For normal driving OEM are great, Police spec pads perform better again.

Bendix heavy duty on my GTS and cannot fault them over the OEM. Cost a fraction of the price too.
